What to do if my Brady Label Maker shows 'Low Battery'?
- A
  Anthony PatelSep 23, 2025
  The 'Low Battery' message on your Brady Label Maker indicates that the battery pack is not charged. To resolve this, connect the battery charger to the battery pack and charge it for at least five hours before operating solely on battery power. Alternatively, the battery pack may be worn out, as battery life is approximately one to three years depending on its use and care. In this case, you should order a replacement battery pack.

What does 'Error Out of Label' mean on my Brady Printer and how do I fix it?

  aaron89Aug 27, 2025
  The 'Error Out of Label' message on your Brady Printer means the roll of markers is either not feeding properly or has run out. Press the or button to clear the display. If the roll is empty, install a new one. If the markers aren't feeding correctly, ensure the leading edge is inserted into the material path until it hits the feed roller and that the edge is straight.

Why won't my Brady Label Maker feed labels?
- J
  Jennifer JonesSep 13, 2025
  Your Brady Label Maker might not feed labels for several reasons. One reason is that the marker roll has been fed through the material guide slots before the print head has been closed. To fix this, unlock the ribbon cartridge-locking lever to open the print head, remove the marker material from the material guide slots, close the print head by locking the ribbon cartridge lever, and then feed the markers through the material guide slots. Another reason could be that the leading edge of the marker roll is not inserted all the way to the drive roller; feed the leading edge through the material guide slots until you meet resistance. Finally, the leading edge of the marker roll might be uneven or torn; use scissors to cut a straight leading edge.

What to do if my Brady Label Maker says 'Out of Ribbon'?
- A
  amber85Sep 12, 2025
  If your Brady Label Maker indicates 'Out of Ribbon', first, try changing the ribbon. If that doesn't work, the ribbon might be folded or mangled due to improper installation or a label jam. Remove the ribbon, manually advance the take-up spool end towards you until the ribbon has a smooth, flat surface, and then reinsert the ribbon into the printer.

Why does my Brady TLS2200 Printer say 'Reduce Type Size'?
- M
  Michelle PaulSep 4, 2025
  The 'Reduce Type Size' message on your Brady Printer indicates the line is full or you've exceeded the marker height. If it appears while typing, press + to reduce the font size. If it appears when you press , reduce the font size or bar code height and try printing again.
