      If your Brother Label Maker stops while printing, replace the tape cassette if you see striped tape, as this indicates the end of the tape. Alternatively, replace all batteries or connect the AC adapter directly to the Label Maker.

      The message appears because cut labels must not remain in the tape exit slot. To disable this message on your Brother Label Maker, press the key, then select 'Cut Option' using the key, and press the key. Next, select 'No Cut' using the key, and press the key.

      If your Brother Printer stops while printing, it might be due to the tape. If you see striped tape, this means you've reached the end of the tape, so replace the tape cassette. Alternatively, the batteries may be low; replace them or connect the AC adapter directly to the printer.

      If your Brother Label Maker isn't printing after pressing the print key, first ensure that you've entered text. Next, check that the tape cassette is correctly installed and contains sufficient tape. If the tape is bent, cut off the damaged section and thread it through the exit slot. If a jam occurs, remove the cassette, carefully extract the jammed tape, and trim it. Finally, ensure the tape's end passes through the guide before reinstalling the cassette.
