Why are my saved files gone from my Brother P-Touch PT-2730 Label Maker?
All files stored in the internal memory are deleted if the batteries are weak or the AC adapter was disconnected.
Why is my Brother P-Touch PT-2730 not cutting automatically?
If the Brother P-touch label is not cut automatically, check that the Cut Option setting is not set to Chain or No Cut, as the tape will not be fed after printing the label. Alternatively, hold down the Shift key and press the Preview key to feed and cut the tape.
Why does my Brother Label Maker stop while printing?
If the Brother P-touch labeler stops while printing, replace the tape cassette if striped tape is visible, indicating the end of the tape. Alternatively, replace all batteries or connect the AC adapter directly to the P-touch labeler.
What to do if my Brother Label Maker freezes?
If the Brother P-touch labeler screen 'locks' or doesn't respond normally, refer to “Resetting the P-touch Labeler” on page 70 and reset the internal memory to the initial settings. If resetting doesn't solve the problem, disconnect the AC adapter and remove the batteries for more than 10 minutes.
What does 'Cutter Error!' mean on my Brother P-Touch PT-2730?
If the Brother P-touch labeler displays 'Cutter Error!', turn the P-touch labeler off and then on again before continuing. If tape is tangled in the cutter, remove the tape.
Why does Brother P-Touch PT-2730 Label Maker say 'Insert 0.47" Tape Cassette!'?
If the Brother P-touch labeler displays 'Insert 0.47" Tape Cassette!', it means an 0.47" (12 mm) tape cassette is not installed when an Auto-Format for 0.47" (12 mm) tape is selected. Install a 0.47" (12 mm) tape cassette.
Why does Brother P-Touch PT-2730 Label Maker say 'Insert 0.94" Tape Cassette!'?
If the Brother P-touch labeler displays 'Insert 0.94" Tape Cassette!', it means an 0.94"(24mm) tape cassette is not installed when an Auto-Format for 0.94"(24mm) tape is selected. Install an 0.94"(24mm) tape cassette.
What to do if Brother Label Maker says 'Insert 0.70" Tape Cassette!'?
If the Brother P-touch labeler displays 'Insert 0.70" Tape Cassette!', it means an 0.70" (18 mm) tape cassette is not installed when an Auto-Format for 0.70" (18 mm) tape is selected. Install an 0.70" (18 mm) tape cassette.
Why does my Brother P-Touch PT-2730 say 'Tape Width Limit! Max 3 Lines'?
If the Brother P-touch labeler displays 'Tape Width Limit! Max 3 Lines', it means there are more than three lines of text when you press the Print or Preview key while using 0.47" (12 mm) tape. Limit the number of lines to three, or replace with a larger width tape cassette.
Why does my Brother P-Touch PT-2730 say 'Line Limit! Max 7 Lines'?
If the Brother P-touch labeler displays 'Line Limit! Max 7 Lines', it means there are already seven lines of text when you press the Enter key. Limit the number of lines to seven.
