•
The machine may malfunction if left near a television, radio, etc. Do not use the machine
near any machine that can cause electromagnetic interference.
•
Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, USB port, Serial port or LAN
port.
•
Use only the USB Interface Cable included with the machine.
•
When not in use for an extended period, remove the DK Roll from the machine.
•
Do not attempt to print labels while the DK Roll cover is open.
•
There is a noise from the printer while printing due to the speed printing (this is not a
failure of the printer).
Set "print quality" of the printer driver setting to reduce the noise.
•
If a paper jam should occur due to a build up of
adhesive on the paper guide surface, unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet and wipe away the
adhesive buildup on the paper guide surface with a
cloth dipped in ethanol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. It
is recommended that you clean the paper guide when
replacing the cutter unit.
DK Rolls (DK Labels and DK Tapes)
•
Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies
(with ,
•
If the label is attached to a wet, dirty, or oily surface, it may peel off easily. Before
applying the label, clean the surface to which the label will be applied.
•
As DK Rolls use thermal paper and thermal film, ultraviolet rays, wind, and rain may
cause the color of the label to fade and the ends of the label to peel off.
•
Do not expose the DK Rolls to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or dust.
Store in a cool, dark place. Use the DK Rolls soon after opening the package.
•
Scratching the printed surface of the label with your finger nails or metal objects, or
touching the printed surface with hands dampened by water, sweat, or medicated cream,
etc., can cause the color to change or fade.
•
Do not apply labels to any persons, animals, or plants.
•
As the end of the DK Roll is designed to not adhere to the label spool, the last label may
not be cut properly. If this happens, remove the remaining labels, insert a new DK Roll,
and reprint the last label.
Note: To account for this, the number of DK Labels included on each DK Roll may be
more than indicated on the package.
•
If a label is removed after being applied to a surface, some portion of the label may
remain. Remove the remaining portion before attaching a new label.
•
Some DK Rolls use permanent adhesive for their labels. These labels cannot be easily
peeled off once attached.
•
Prior to using CD/DVD labels, be sure to follow the instructions in your CD/DVD player's
instruction guide regarding applying CD/DVD labels.
•
Do not use CD/DVD labels in a slot loading CD/DVD player, for example a CD player in
a car where the CD is slid into a slot in the CD player.
•
Do not peel off the CD/DVD label once it is applied to the CD/DVD, a thin surface layer
may come off, resulting in damage to the disk.
•
Do not apply CD/DVD labels to CD/DVD disks designed for use with ink jet printers.
Labels peel off these disks easily and using disks with peeled labels can result in loss or
damage of data.
