Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much memory is available?

A. The printer has 6 MB of built-in memory

available, allowing a maximum of 99 templates to be saved. When there is no more of the built-in memory available or when 99 templates have been registered, templates can no longer be transferred to (be registered with) the printer. Delete unnecessary templates from the printer.

Q. Why does the file size change when a template is transferred to the printer?

A. Since the format of a template file added

to P-touch Transfer Manager 2.1 is different from the format of a file after it has been transferred to the printer, the file size changes.

Q.How can I check the number of templates

that can be registered on the printer and the key numbers that are being used?

A. Follow the procedure below to check the information:

1Connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable, and then turn on the printer.

2For Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows® 7:

From the Start menu, click [All Programs]

- [Brother P-touch] - [P-touch Tools] - [P-touch Transfer Manager 2.1].

For Windows® 8:

Click [P-touch Transfer Manager 2.1] in the [Start] or [Apps] screen.

3Click “Brother TD-XXXX” (where “TD-XXXX” is the model name of your printer) in the pane on the left side to display the templates registered with the printer in the pane on the right side. The number of templates and the key numbers that are being used can be checked.

Q. Why can’t a template be transferred to

the printer (it was transferred, but the date was not automatically updated)?

A. The printer driver may not be correctly

installed. Re-install the printer driver, and then try transferring again.

If the date was not updated, check that the [At 10 Printing] check box is selected in the [Date

and Time Properties] dialog box for the template.

For details, see Inserting the Date and Time in a Label on page 80.
