      If your Brady Label Maker is producing compressed print with poor registration, the platen roller might be dirty. Ensure that the last cut label has been removed from the label tray, and then clean the platen roller.

    Why does my Brady Label Maker print a black line on the first label?
    • A
      Amanda WilliamsSep 13, 2025
      A black line on the first label from your Brady Label Maker is caused by leaving the cartridge in the locked position when not in use. This presses the print head against the platen roller, creating a pressure point line. To prevent this, unlock the cartridge after printing to avoid the warm print head burning ink onto the next label.

    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.

    What to do if my Brady BMP 21-PLUS Label Maker printer is jammed and cannot feed labels?
    • E
      Erin BlackAug 26, 2025
      If your Brady Label Maker is jammed and cannot feed labels, it's possible that the label exit chute is blocked, causing the label material to back up inside the printer. To clear the jam: Slide the locking lever to the unlock position to retract the platen, allowing cartridge removal. Remove the cartridge. Use tweezers or needle-nose pliers to carefully clear the label jam. Be cautious to avoid damaging the print head, as it is susceptible to scratches, dents, or cracks.

    • C
      christina06Aug 26, 2025
      If your Brady Label Maker printer is not powering up, the battery pack might not be charged. If using batteries, replace them with 6 new AA batteries. If you're using the lithium-ion battery, remove it from the printer and recharge it using the AC adapter. To use the printer while charging the lithium-ion battery, insert 6 AA alkaline batteries in the battery compartment.
