Why is my Brother Label Maker not printing?
- N
  Nicholas SkinnerAug 22, 2025
  If the Brother P-touch label is not printed after pressing the Print key, make sure that text has been entered and that the tape cassette is correctly installed with sufficient tape remaining. If the tape is bent, cut off the bent section and thread the tape through the tape exit slot. If the tape is jammed, remove the tape cassette, pull out the jammed tape, and cut it. Ensure the tape end passes through the tape guide before reinstalling the cassette.

What to do if my Brother Label Maker freezes?

  qrasmussenAug 27, 2025
  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.

Why does my Brother Label Maker stop while printing?
- C
  Christopher MortonAug 26, 2025
  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.

Why is my Brother P-Touch PT-2730 not cutting automatically?
- B
  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.
