      If your Brother Label Maker isn't printing or you're getting a printing error, make sure the USB cable is securely connected. Also, remove the DK Roll and then reinsert it, ensuring there's enough roll left. Verify the DK Roll Compartment Cover is properly closed. Try turning the label printer off and on. If using a USB hub, connect the printer directly to the computer or try a different USB port. If the issue continues, consult your Brother dealer.
