    Why will my Brady Label Maker not feed labels?
    • J
      James EdwardsSep 1, 2025
      If your Brady Label Maker will not feed labels, the leading edge of the label roll may not be inserted far enough or may be uneven. Ensure the leading edge is securely under the ribs, up to the black line. If the edge is torn, use scissors to cut a straight edge.
