Brother P-Touch 18R User Manual page 61

Problem
The ink ribbon is
separated from the
ink roller.
The P-touch stops
while printing a label.
The label is not cut
automatically.
Label files saved
previously are now
empty.
Cause
Is the ink ribbon in the tape
cassette loose, or did you
pull on the label coming out
of the tape exit slot?
Is there enough tape
remaining in the tape
cassette?
Is the battery low and the AC
adapter not connected?
Is Cut Option set to Chain or
No Cut?
Have the battery and AC
adapter been disconnected?
Is the battery charged?
Have you used the Reset
function?
Solution
If the ink ribbon is broken
replace the tape cassette. If
not, leave the tape uncut and
remove the tape cassette,
then wind the loose ink
ribbon onto the spool as
shown in the figure.
Spool
The striped tape indicates
you have reached the end of
the tape. Replace the tape
cassette when the striped
tape appears.
Load the battery or connect
the AC adapter directly to
the P-touch.
When these options are set,
the tape is not fed after
printing the label. Check the
Cut Option setting, or press
the key to feed and cut
the tape.
All data stored in the internal
memory is lost if the battery
and AC adapter are
disconnected for longer than
five minutes.
All data stored in the internal
memory is lost if the battery
runs down.
The reset function clears all
data stored in the internal
memory, including label
files.
