  If your Brother Label Maker isn't printing after pressing the print key, there might be a few reasons: * Check if you've entered any text because it won't print if there's no text. * Confirm that the tape cassette is correctly installed and has enough tape. * If the tape end is bent, cut the bent section and thread the tape correctly. * For a jammed tape, remove the cassette, carefully pull out the tape, cut it, and ensure the tape end passes through the guide before reinstalling. * Also, make sure the tape compartment cover is closed properly.

  If your Brother Label Maker isn't printing labels correctly, consider these points: * Ensure the tape cassette is installed correctly by pressing firmly until it clicks. * Clean the print head with a cotton swab or optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4) if it's dirty. * Check the Cut Option setting because if it is set to Chain or No Cut, the tape won't feed after printing. Adjust the setting or hold the key and press the key to feed and cut the tape.

  If your Brother Label Maker isn't cutting labels automatically, here’s what to check: * Verify the Cut Option setting. If it's set to Chain or No Cut, the tape won't feed for automatic cutting. Change the setting or manually feed and cut the tape. * If you're using Fabric Iron-On or Extra Strength Adhesive Tapes, you'll need to use scissors to cut the tape. * Ensure the tape compartment cover is properly closed.

  If the screen of your Brother Label Maker locks up, freezes, or doesn't respond normally, reset the internal memory to the initial settings. If that doesn't solve the problem, disconnect the AC adapter and remove the batteries for more than 10 minutes.

  If your Brother Label Maker stops while printing, consider the following: * Check if there's enough tape remaining in the cassette. The striped tape indicates the end of the roll, so replace the cassette when you see it. * Ensure that the batteries aren't weak and that the AC adapter (Brother AD-24) is connected properly. Replace weak batteries or connect the AC adapter directly.

Why are my saved label files empty on my Brother PT-2100 Label Maker?

  If your saved label files are now empty on your Brother Label Maker, it could be due to: * Disconnecting the batteries and AC adapter for more than two minutes, which causes data loss. * Batteries being completely empty, which also results in data loss. * Using the Reset function, which clears all stored data, including label files.
