Potential types of problems Problem Solution The QL printer does not print, or a printing error is received. • 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. • Has a print error or transmission error occurred? Turn off the Brother QL printer and then turn it on again. If there is still a problem, contact your Brother dealer. • If the printer is connected via a USB hub, try connecting it directly to the PC.

If it is inserted correctly, try plugging it into another electrical outlet. The printed label contains streaks or poor quality characters, or the label is not fed correctly. • Is the print head or roller dirty? While the print head generally remains clean under normal use, lint or dirt from the roller may become stuck on the printer head. If this occurs, clean the roller. See Î "Roller maintenance" in page 2. A data transmission error appears on the PC. • Is the correct port chosen? Check that the correct port is chosen from the "Print to the following port" list in the Printer Properties dialog box. • Is the QL printer in cooling mode (the STATUS lamp is flashing in orange)? Wait until the STATUS lamp stops flashing and then try printing again. Labels are jammed in the cutter. • Contact Brother Customer Service at 1-877-BROTHER.
