Compatible encoder strip for Brother inkjet printers

This encoder strip is designed as a replacement part for several Brother DCP and MFC inkjet models including the 425, 430, 432, 525, 825, 925 and 955 series. It restores printhead positioning accuracy when the original strip becomes damaged or contaminated. The component is supplied new and matches the type C specification used in the listed printers.

Limited to specific Brother type C models

The strip only fits the Brother models explicitly named in the compatibility list and will not work with other Brother printers or machines from different manufacturers that use different encoder designs. Installation requires partial disassembly of the printer carriage area, so buyers uncomfortable with internal repairs should seek professional service. No adhesive or mounting hardware is included beyond the strip itself.
