      If the Brother Label Maker isn't printing after you press the Print key, ensure that 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. If there's a jam, remove the cassette, carefully pull out the jammed tape, and cut it. Make sure the tape end goes through the guide before reinstalling the cassette.
