General Precautions

„The Printer

•The printer may malfunction if left near a television, radio, etc. Do not use the printer near any printer that can cause electromagnetic interference.

•Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight or near heaters or other hot appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity or dusty locations. The recommended temperature range is between 50°F to 95 °F (10°C to 35°C).

•Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvents to clean the printer. Doing so may cause damage to the surface finish. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the printer.

•Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, USB port, or serial port.

•Use only the interface cable (USB cable) included with the printer.

•When not in use for an extended period, remove the DK Roll from the printer.

•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.

„Power Cord

• Do not use included power cord to other products.

„DK Roll (DK Label and DK Tape)

•Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies (with , marks). Do not use any unauthorized accessories or supplies.

•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.

•DK Roll uses thermal paper and thermal film so that 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, plants, or in public locations.

•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.

•When peeling a DK Label, 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 neatly peeled off once attached.
