      If the Brother Label Maker is not printing the label after pressing the Print key, make sure you've entered text and that the tape cassette is correctly installed with enough tape. If the tape is bent, cut off the bent part and thread the tape through the exit slot. If jammed, remove the cassette, pull out the jammed tape, cut it, and ensure the tape end goes through the guide before reinstalling.

      If the Brother Label Maker display remains blank after you turn it on, check that the batteries are correctly installed and the AC adapter is properly connected. If you're using a rechargeable battery, ensure it's fully charged.

      If your Brother Label Maker isn't printing after you press the Print key, make sure you've entered text and that the tape cassette is correctly installed with enough tape. If the tape is creased, cut off the damaged section and thread the tape through the exit slot. For jammed tape, remove the cassette, pull out the jammed portion, cut it, and ensure the tape end goes through the guide before reinstalling.

      If your Brother Label Maker is not printing correctly, remove the tape cassette and firmly reinstall it until it clicks. If the print head is dirty, clean it using a cotton swab or an optional print head cleaning cassette (TZe-CL4).

    Why are my saved files gone from my Brother P-Touch D400 Label Maker?
    • R
      Robert RangelSep 18, 2025
      If label files saved previously on your Brother Label Maker are now empty, it's because all files stored in the internal memory are deleted when the batteries are weak or the AC adapter was disconnected.

      If your Brother Label Maker displays 'Check # of Digits Entered!', the number of digits entered in the bar code data doesn't match the number of digits set in the bar code parameters. Enter the correct number of digits.

      thompsonpatrickSep 4, 2025
      If the screen of your Brother P-touch ‘locks’ or doesn't respond normally, reset the internal memory to its initial settings. If that doesn't work, disconnect the AC adapter and remove the batteries for more than 10 minutes.
