brother

I have a brother mfc-5440cn and tried to adjust the vertical alignment with the result that the printing quality now is very poor. The printer prints a small schadow next to each letter :-(

I tried to re-adjust the alignment, but for the 600dpi settings, there is no pattern that matches the 0-pattern (you know what I mean when you've once adjsuted a brother printer :-)

Is there a way to make a factory reset?

With prices of basic printers being around $40 - $50 and a ink cartridge being around $20 - $30 each for black AND color.
