16 Maintenance 16 16 We recommend cleaning your Label Printer on a regular basis to maintain its correct performance. Note Always disconnect the AC Adapter before cleaning the Label Printer. Cleaning the Exterior of the Unit 16 Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit using a soft, dry cloth. Use a cloth slightly damp with water on difficult to remove marks. Note Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvent. These may deform or damage the case of your Label Printer.
Maintenance c Remove the DK Roll. 16 Note Be sure to remove the DK Roll before cleaning the roller. The roller cleaning function will not operate correctly if the DK Roll is not removed. d Remove part (B) of the Cleaning Sheet. Insert edge (A) of the Cleaning Sheet into the printing unit. Note The printed side of the Cleaning Sheet should be facing upwards. e f Close the DK Roll Compartment Cover and turn on the Label Printer.
Maintenance Cleaning the Label Outlet 16 If a label causes the machine to jam due to adhesive residue attached to the label outlet, clean the label outlet with a cloth. Use a slightly damp cloth on difficult to remove adhesive, if necessary.
17 Troubleshooting 17 Overview 17 This chapter explains how to resolve typical problems you may encounter when using the Label Printer. If you have any problems with the Label Printer, first make sure you have performed the following tasks correctly: Connect the Label Printer to an AC power outlet or install the battery. For more information, see Connecting the AC Adapter on page 7. Remove all protective packaging from the Label Printer. Install and select the correct printer driver.
Troubleshooting Printing Problems Problem The Label Printer does not print, or a printing error is received. 17 Solution 17 • Is the cable loose? Check that the cable is connected securely. • Is the DK Roll installed correctly? If not, remove the DK Roll and reinstall it. • Is there enough roll remaining? Check that there is enough roll remaining. • Is the DK Roll Compartment Cover open? Check that the DK Roll Compartment Cover is closed.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution Cutter error If a cutter error occurs, keep the DK Roll Compartment Cover closed and press the Power ( ) Button. The cutter moves back to the normal position and the Label Printer turns off automatically. Make sure the Label Printer is Off and remove any jammed labels. If you need further assistance, contact Brother Customer Service. I want to reset the Label Printer. You can reset the Label Printer using the Printer Setting Tool from a computer.
Troubleshooting Problem When printing via the USB cable, the Label Printer repeatedly pauses and then continues printing. Solution • Is the Label Printer set for sequential printing? If so, set print mode to buffered printing. For Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008: 17 Open printer properties from [Control Panel] - [Hardware and Sound] [Printers], click the Label Printer you want, and select [Select printing preferences]. Click the [Other] tab and select the option [After one page of data is received].
Troubleshooting Problem Printed barcodes cannot be read. Solution Print labels so that barcodes are aligned with the print head as shown below: 17 1 3 2 1 Print head 2 Barcodes 3 Printing orientation Try using another scanner. We recommend printing the Barcode with Print Quality options set to [Give priority to print quality] (except for 2-color printing).

19 Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager 19 Because some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the Label Printer, keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor to create templates. You can check a preview of the printed template before the created template is transferred to the Label Printer. For more information, see Transferring the Template to P-touch Transfer Manager on page 123.
Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager Notes on Transferring Data Other Than Templates 19 If the number or order of fields in a database is changed and only the database (.csv file) is transferred to update it, the database may not link correctly with the template. In addition, the first line of data in the transferred file must be recognized by the Label Printer as "field names".

Network Terms and Information Types of Network Connections and Protocols 20 You will find basic information about the advanced network features of the Label Printer, along with general networking and common terms. The supported protocols and network features differ depending on the model you are using. Types of Network Connections 20 Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 20 In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device.
Network Terms and Information Network Shared printing 20 In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs. 20 Network printer (your Label Printer) 1 Client computers 2 Also known as “Server” or “Print server” 3 TCP/IP or USB In a larger network, we recommend using a Network Shared printing environment.
Network Terms and Information Configuring Your Label Printer for a Network 20 IP Addresses, Subnet Masks and Gateways 20 To use the Label Printer in a networked TCP/IP environment, you must configure its IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you must correctly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
Network Terms and Information Subnet mask 20 Subnet masks restrict network communication. For example, Computer 1 can communicate with Computer 2 • Computer 1 IP Address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 • Computer 2 IP Address: 192.168.1.3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 20 The 0 in the Subnet mask signifies that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. In the example above, this means that you can communicate with any device with an IP address that begins with 192.168.1.x.
Network Terms and Information Wireless Network Terms and Concepts 20 Security Terms 20 Authentication and encryption 20 Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network).
Network Terms and Information TKIP TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and rekeying mechanism. AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection using a symmetric-key encryption.
Network Terms and Information Authentication methods 20 LEAP (For wireless network) Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. and uses a user ID and password for authentication. EAP-FAST EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. and uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric key algorithms to achieve a tunnelled authentication process.
