General Precautions

  • Depending on the area, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or become permanently affixed, and the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other objects. Before affixing the label, check the environmental conditions and the material. Test the label by affixing a small piece of it to an inconspicuous area of the intended surface.
  • DO NOT use the machine, components, or supplies in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide. Doing so may result in accidents or damage.
  • Use only Brother TZe tapes with the Label Printer. DO NOT use tapes that do not have the image mark.
  • Use a soft wipe to clean the Print Head; never touch the Print Head.
  • DO NOT apply excessive pressure to the Tape Cutter Lever.
  • DO NOT try to print if the cassette is empty; it will damage the Print Head.
  • DO NOT pull the tape while printing or feeding; it will damage the tape and the Label Printer.
  • Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure, or repair of the printer, or if the batteries discharge completely.
  • Printed characters may look different from those displayed in the print preview, as your device's or computer’s screen may have a higher resolution than the Label Printer.
  • The displayed label length may differ from the actual length of the printed label.
  • When power is disconnected for two minutes, all text, format settings, and any text files stored in the memory will be cleared.
  • Be sure to read the instructions provided with Fabric Iron-On Tapes, Extra Strength Adhesive Tapes, or other special tapes and observe all precautions noted in the instructions.
  • A protective clear plastic film is placed on the LCD during manufacturing and shipping. Remove this film prior to use.
