If the P-touch Label Printer has not received the complete data, printing will not start. Turn off the P-touch Label Printer, and then turn it on again. 18 The thermal head is too hot. The P-touch Label Printer stops and resumes printing only after the thermal head has cooled down. The head may become too hot if you are printing a large number of labels. When the thermal head becomes too hot, it may produce imaging on the labels in areas not intended to be printed. To avoid or delay overheating, make sure the P-touch Label Printer has adequate ventilation and is not located in an enclosed space. If the P-touch Label Printer must cool down because it overheated due to the type of tape cassette you are using or the contents of the label, printing may take longer than usual. Note This condition may occur more often when the P-touch Label Printer is used at high altitude (more than 10,000 ft (3,048 m)) due to a lower air density available to cool the P-touch Label Printer. To resolve the issue, contact your Brother dealer or Brother customer service for assistance.

Problem
Solution
Received data in buffer
Print data is saved in the buffer. If the P-touch Label Printer has not
received the complete data, printing will not start.
Turn off the P-touch Label Printer, and then turn it on again.
Head is cooling down
The thermal head is too hot.
The P-touch Label Printer stops and resumes printing only after the
thermal head has cooled down. The head may become too hot if
you are printing a large number of labels.
When the thermal head becomes too hot, it may produce imaging
on the labels in areas not intended to be printed. To avoid or delay
overheating, make sure the P-touch Label Printer has adequate
ventilation and is not located in an enclosed space.
If the P-touch Label Printer must cool down because it overheated
due to the type of tape cassette you are using or the contents of the
label, printing may take longer than usual.
Note
This condition may occur more often when the P-touch Label
Printer is used at high altitude (more than 10,000 ft (3,048 m))
due to a lower air density available to cool the P-touch Label
Printer.
P-touch Label Printer is in boot mode
To resolve the issue, contact your Brother dealer or Brother
customer service for assistance.
