Problem Solution
Received data in buffer Print data is saved in the buffer. If the P-touch has not received the
complete data, printing will not start.
Turn the P-touch off, and then turn it on again.
Head is cooling down The thermal head is too hot.
The P-touch stops and resumes printing only after the thermal head
has cooled down. The head may become too hot if you are printing
a large number of labels.
When the thermal head becomes too hot, it may produce imaging
on the labels in areas not intended to be printed. To avoid or delay
overheating, make sure the P-touch has adequate ventilation and
is not located in an enclosed space.
If the P-touch must cool down because it overheated due to the
type of tape cassette you are using or the contents of the label,
printing may take longer than usual.
This condition may occur more often when the P-touch is used
at high altitude (more than 10,000 ft (3,048 m)) due to a lower
air density available to cool the P-touch.
P-touch is in boot mode To resolve the issue, contact your Brother dealer or Brother
customer service for assistance.
