Brother Fax 575 Ribbon

I have a new Brother Fax 575. And honestly, I can't seem to make it fax or print or do anything. I guess there is something that I am doing wrong. The main problem that I have is can I reset the used ribbon to receive a fax ready to print? I do not have time to run out and purchase a new brother fax 575 ribbon, need to print out the fax. There is a notification that is saying that the ribbon needs to be replaced or reset. Can I reset it? Many thanks for any response.
