      Brenda ThompsonAug 25, 2025
      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.

      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.

      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.
