      If you see striped tape, it means you've reached the end of the tape, so replace the tape cassette. Alternatively, replace all batteries or connect the AC adapter directly to the Brother P-touch labeler.

      First, ensure that you have entered text. Then, check that the tape cassette is correctly installed and contains sufficient tape. 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. Finally, make sure the end of the tape passes through the tape guide before reinstalling the tape cassette.
