An error occurred when
using a mobile app.
Go to your mobile application’s settings menu and select Support
page > FAQs & Troubleshooting.
The screen is locked, or
the Label Printer does not
operate normally.
See the Basic Operations section in this guide and reset the
Label Printer’s internal memory to the factory settings. If resetting
the Label Printer does not solve the problem, disconnect the AC
Adapter and remove the batteries for more than 10 minutes.
The LCD remains blank
after turning the power on.
Check that the batteries are correctly installed or that the AC
Adapter included with your Label Printer is correctly connected.
The Label Printer stops
while printing a label.
• Replace the Tape Cassette if striped tape is visible as this
indicates that you have reached the end of the tape.
• Replace all batteries or connect the AC Adapter directly to the
Label Printer.
Problem Solution
Previously saved label
les are not available.
All les saved in the internal memory are deleted if the batteries are
weak or the AC Adapter is disconnected.
• I cannot install the
Printer Driver even
if I follow the correct
procedure (Windows
only).
• I cannot see my printer
listed in P-touch Editor
even though I have
installed the Printer
Driver (Windows only).
If you cannot use your Label Printer even though you have installed
the Printer Driver:
1. Download the Printer Driver Uninstaller from your model’s page at
support.brother.com.
2. Use the Printer Driver Uninstaller to remove the printer
information.
3. Run the Printer Driver Installer again and follow the on-screen
instructions to proceed with the installation.

Cassette. If it is not, leave the tape uncut and
carefully remove the Tape Cassette, and then wind
the loose ink ribbon back onto the spool.
Printed barcodes or QR
codes cannot be read.
• Change the tape. (Recommended: Black on white tape)
• Enlarge the barcodes or QR codes in the application you are
using.

version of the Label
Printer.
Check the rmware information by pressing the following keys:

The font size cannot be
increased.
The font is already the maximum size for the width of the label.
Or, the label length has been set, so there is a limit on the font size
to prevent exceeding the set length.
When multiple labels are
printed, the last label is cut
incorrectly.
When Chain Print is enabled, feed the tape to eject the last printed
label.

Symbols and Frames
Set Margins
By default the printer creates a laminate margin of approx. 23 mm at the beginning of each label. To reduce this margin, print multiple
labels continuously.
You can also change the margin before and after the text for the second and subsequent labels when printing multiple labels.
Select [Chain] to print labels with the narrowest margin width. DO NOT feed the tape until the nal label is printed. When the nal
label prints, cut it manually using the [Feed & Cut] function.

Problem Solution
When the label is printed,
there is too much margin
(space) on both sides of
the text.
• See the Set Margins section in this guide and select [Small
Margin], [Chain] or [No Cut] for smaller margins.
When you set [Small Margin], the Label Printer feeds approx.
23 mm of leader tape before every new label.
To save tape, select the [Chain] setting. After the last label
prints, press
and simultaneously to feed and cut the
tape.
• The Label Printer feeds approx. 23 mm of tape before every
new label. When printing multiple labels, you can reduce the
blank space on the second and subsequent labels.
Select the [Chain] setting in the optional print settings. Then,
print your labels and leave the last label in the Label Printer until
you are ready to print a new label.
• After the last label prints, press
and simultaneously to
feed the tape, and then eject and cut the last label. Note that
the Label Printer will feed approx. 23 mm of tape before the
next new label when you use this method.
I cannot update the
printer’s rmware using the
