Why is the display blank on my Brother P-TOUCH PT-2100 after turning it on?
If the display on your Brother Printer remains blank after turning it on, check that the AC adapter designed for your P-touch labeler is correctly connected. Also, verify that the AC adapter is a Brother AD-24 adapter, as using the wrong one can cause damage. Finally, remove and reinstall the batteries to ensure they are correctly installed.

If your Brother Printer label is not printing after pressing the key, make sure text has been entered. Check that the tape cassette is correctly installed and has enough tape remaining. If the tape end is bent, cut it and thread the tape through the exit slot. If the tape is jammed, remove the cassette, carefully pull out the tape, cut it, and ensure the end passes through the guide before reinstalling. Also, ensure that the tape compartment cover is closed correctly.
Why does my Brother P-TOUCH PT-2100 P-touch labeler stop while printing a label?
Your Brother Printer P-touch labeler may stop printing because the tape cassette is running out of tape; the striped tape indicates the end, so replace the cassette. Alternatively, the batteries may be weak, or the AC adapter is not connected or is not the Brother AD-24. Replace the batteries or connect the Brother AD-24 AC adapter directly to the labeler.
How to fix a Brother Printer label that is not cut automatically?
If your Brother Printer label isn't cutting automatically, check the Cut Option setting; Chain or No Cut settings prevent tape feeding after printing. Adjust the setting or hold down the key and press the key to feed and cut the tape. If using Fabric Iron-On or Extra Strength Adhesive Tapes, use scissors to cut the tape after printing. Also, ensure the tape compartment cover is closed correctly.
