      Check that 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 there's a jam, remove the cassette, pull out the jammed tape, and cut it. Make sure the tape end goes through the guide before reinstalling.

      If the label is not printed after pressing the Print key on your Brother Label Maker: * Check that text has been entered and that the tape cassette is installed correctly with sufficient tape remaining. * If the tape is bent, cut off the bent section and thread the tape through the tape exit slot. * If the tape is jammed, remove the tape cassette and then pull out the jammed tape and cut it. Check that the end of the tape passes through the tape guide before reinstalling the tape cassette.

      If you see striped tape, it means you've reached the end of the tape, so replace the tape cassette. Alternatively, try replacing all the batteries or connecting the AC adapter directly to the Brother Label Maker.
