      If the cutter on your Brady Label Maker isn't cutting, there might be label slivers in the cutter assembly. Use a small tool like tweezers or needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the media slivers from the cutter assembly. Be careful not to damage any components and never use your fingers. If concerned, contact technical support.

    What to do if my Brady BMP 21-PLUS Label Maker LCD reads “Error”?

      Samantha HughesAug 25, 2025
      If your Brady Label Maker displays 'Error' on the LCD, it could be due to a low battery or incorrect media. If using batteries, replace them with 6 new AA batteries. Alternatively, if you're using a lithium-ion battery, remove it from the printer and recharge it using the AC adapter. Also, ensure that you insert the correct media cartridge.

    Why does my Brady BMP 21-PLUS show 'Error - Cannot Fit' when there are too many lines?
    • S
      Samantha Lucas DDSSep 23, 2025
      If you receive an "Error - Cannot Fit" message on your Brady Label Maker, it could be due to too many lines of text. The maximum number of lines allowed is four. Remember that a blank line is considered another line of text, so avoid pressing ENTER at the end of a line if you don't want another line.

    How do I fix void areas or lines on printed text from my Brady BMP 21-PLUS?

      orodriguezSep 12, 2025
      If you see void areas or lines on the printed text from your Brady Label Maker, it could be due to a creased line on the label. When printing over the crease, the ribbon ink can't fill in the indentation. To fix this: 1. Advance the label material to jump over the crease. 2. Reprint your label.

    Why does my Brady Label Maker print void areas or lines due to ribbon wrinkling?
    • C
      Curtis WagnerSep 18, 2025
      If void areas or lines appear on printed text from your Brady Label Maker, and you suspect ribbon wrinkling, remove the cartridge from the printer and advance the ribbon by rotating the take-up spool clockwise until the wrinkled or damaged ribbon is no longer visible (typically one or two full turns). Reinstall the cartridge and continue printing normally. Alternatively, try a new cartridge.
