What to do if my Brother P-touch PT-1500PC Label Maker doesn't print and shows a printing error?
If your Brother Label Maker isn't printing and indicates an error, verify that the interface cable is correctly connected, the tape cassette is properly installed, and the tape compartment cover is closed. This should resolve the issue.
Why does a blank horizontal line appear on printed labels from my Brother P-touch PT-1500PC?
A blank horizontal line on printed labels usually indicates that the print head and roller are dirty. Clean the print head and roller following the instructions on page 19.
What to do if I see striped tape while printing with my Brother P-touch PT-1500PC?
Striped tape during printing means the tape cassette is empty. Insert a new tape cassette, then either press the Power/Feed key or turn the Brother P-touch off, then on again.
Why does the status indicator not light up on my Brother Label Maker?
If the status indicator isn't lighting up, ensure the AC adapter is correctly connected. If it still doesn't light up, contact your service representative.
What to do if a data transmission error appears on the computer when using my Brother P-touch PT-1500PC?
