    What to do if my Brady Label Maker shows 'Error Out of Label'?
    • M
      mitchellmorganSep 10, 2025
      If your Brady Label Maker displays 'Error Out of Label', first press the or button to clear the display. If the roll has run out, install a new marker roll. If you have not run out of markers, ensure the leading edge of the markers is inserted into the material path until they hit the feed roller and that the leading edge is straight, cutting it with scissors if necessary. If the markers are present and printing, they may have become skewed or jammed; press the key to recalibrate, or open the print head and pull the markers through to clear the jam.

      Steven HillAug 23, 2025
      If your Brady Printer displays a low battery warning, it could be due to an uncharged or worn-out battery pack. Try these steps: * Connect the battery charger to the battery pack. * Charge the battery for at least five hours before using the printer solely on battery power. * If the battery is old (approximately 1-3 years), it might be time to order a replacement.

    Why is the top of the marker cut through when cutting PSPT markers on my Brady TLS2200?
    • J
      Jacob MoralesSep 5, 2025
      If the top of the marker is cut through when cutting PSPT markers on your Brady Printer, it's likely that the movable material guide isn't fully locked in place. Verify that it's fully locked into the proper notch in the guide plate.

    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.

    How do I fix an 'Out of Ribbon' error on my Brady TLS2200 Printer?
    • K
      Kelsey MathisSep 3, 2025
      An 'Out of Ribbon' error on your Brady Printer can occur for a few reasons. The ribbon may have run out, in which case you should change it. Alternatively, the ribbon could be folded or mangled due to improper installation or a label jam. In this case, remove the ribbon, manually advance the take-up spool until the ribbon is smooth, and then reinsert it into the printer.

    What to do if my Brady TLS2200 Printer will not feed labels?
    • G
      gjarvisSep 2, 2025
      If your Brady Printer isn't feeding labels, it could be due to several reasons: * The marker roll was fed through the material guide slots before closing the print head: Unlock the ribbon cartridge-locking lever to open the print head, remove the marker material, close the print head by locking the lever, and then feed the markers through the guide slots. * The marker roll's leading edge isn't fully inserted: Feed the leading edge until you meet resistance. * The leading edge is uneven or torn: Use scissors to cut a straight edge.
