Note
• Before using the rechargeable Li-ion
battery, use the following procedure to
charge it.
• Up to 360 minutes is needed to fully
charge a rechargeable Li-ion battery.
• You can print about 2,000 labels (when
connected by USB, and using a new, fully

Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Charging
1
To stop rechargeable Li-ion battery from
charging, disconnect the AC power cord or
Car adapter from the battery’s AC/DC
connector.
Tips on Using the
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery 1
Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery
before use. Do not use it before it is
charged.
Darker prints discharge the rechargeable
Li-ion battery faster than lighter prints.
Adjust the print density setting in the
printer driver’s dialog box or in the RJ
Utility (see Print Density uu page 32).
The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging
can take place in 32-104 °F (0-40 °C)
environments. Charge the rechargeable
Li-ion battery in an environment in this
temperature range. If the surrounding
temperature is out of this range, the
rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be
charged, and the battery indicator will
remain lit.
If the printer is used when both the
rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed
and the AC adapter or Car adapter is
connected, the battery indicator may turn
off and charging may stop even if the
rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been
fully charged.
When charging the rechargeable Li-ion
battery while the Car adapter is
connected, the amount of voltage required
to fully charge the rechargeable Li-ion
battery may not be supplied by the DC
power outlet. When 360 minutes (max.)
have passed since charging started, the
battery indicator turns off and charging
stops even if the rechargeable Li-ion
battery has not been fully charged.

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Characteristics
1
Understanding the properties of the
rechargeable Li-ion battery will allow you to
optimize its usage.
Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion
battery in a location exposed to high or low
temperatures may accelerate its
deterioration. In particular, using a
rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high
charge (charged 90% or more) in a
location exposed to high temperatures will
considerably accelerate battery
deterioration.
Using the printer while the rechargeable
Li-ion battery is installed and charging
may accelerate the battery’s deterioration.
If using the printer when the rechargeable
Li-ion battery is installed, disconnect the
AC adapter or Car adapter.
If the printer will not be used for a long
period of time, remove the rechargeable
Li-ion battery from the printer when its
charge is 50% or less, and then store the
battery in a cool place away from direct
sunlight.
If the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not
be used for a long period of time, we
recommend charging it every 6 months.
For other precautions, refer to the
instruction manual included with the
rechargeable Li-ion battery.
Inserting the RD Roll 1
a Press and hold the (Power) button to
turn the printer off.
Turn and hold the cover open lever, and
open the RD Roll compartment cover.
b While pushing the adjuster lock in the
direction of the arrow, move it to the left
or right. Because the roll guide will also
move, adjust the roll guide to match the
width of the paper using the scale
engraved on the inside of the printer.

5Tear bar
e Close the RD Roll compartment by
pressing on the center of the cover.
f Press and hold the (Power) button to
turn the printer on.
Note
When using die cut label, press the
(Feed) button after inserting the RD
Roll. The printer will position the label to
the correct starting position.
Make sure that the roll guide is
properly positioned to prevent the
RD Roll from moving sideways.
If the RD Roll is not inserted
correctly, the printer will not print on
the correct side of the paper or label.
When printing on die cut labels, set
the roll guide so that there is
0.08 inches (2 mm) of space on
both sides (0.16 inches (4 mm)
total) of the scale.
Example: When using a 4-inch wide
(101.6 mm) label, set the roll guide
to a width of 4.16 inches
(105.6 mm).
Use genuine Brother media.

JPEG Printing 5
Image data (JPEG) can be printed without
using the printer driver.
Note
• JPEG images can be printed using the
mass storage feature.
• The Bluetooth Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)
or Object Push Profile (OPP) is used for
printing via a Bluetooth connection.
• This printer will convert a color JPEG
image to a ‘Black & White’ image using a
dithering process.
• When sending a JPEG image that is
already ‘Black & White’ this dithering
process may make your printed image
fuzzy.
• To improve the image quality, try to turn
off any preprocessing of the JPEG image.
Only JPEG images can be printed.
(Limited to files with the .jpg extension.)
The maximum file size is 5 MB.
(2.38 MB when the mass storage feature
is used.)
The maximum resolutions are as follows.
Height × Width = 8000 × 832 dots
If these limits are exceeded, the data
received by the printer will be discarded
and not printed.
Print is at 1 pixel = 1 dot.
This printer performs binary processing
(simple binary) to print the image.
The image is printed with the
height-to-width proportion of the received
data.
When the printer is turned off, mass
storage mode is deactivated and
any files in the mass storage area
are deleted.
This feature supports “.bin”, “.blf”,
and “.jpg” files. Do not use other file
formats with this feature.
Do not create folders in the mass
storage area. If a folder is created,
files in the folder will not be
executed.
The capacity of the mass storage
area is 2.45 MB. Use of files larger
than 2 MB cannot be guaranteed.
If multiple files are copied, the order
that the files will be executed in
cannot be guaranteed.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RS-232C
features are not available while the
printer is running in mass storage
mode.
Do not access other files in the
mass storage area when executing
a copied file.

Indicator Warnings 7
Problem Solution
The POWER indicator does not light The printer is receiving no power.
If you are using AC or DC power, make sure that the AC
adapter or Car adapter is properly connected (see Connecting
the Printer to External Power uu page 2) and make sure that
the AC or DC power outlet is turned on.
If you are using DC power, check the fuse.
Head or motor is cooling down The thermal head or motor is too hot.
Head:
If the thermal head becomes even hotter, the thermal head may
produce imaging on the paper in areas not intended to be
printed. This condition is normal when printing documents with
a great deal of “black” content.
The printer will stop and resume printing after the print head
has cooled down.
To avoid or delay the onset of this condition, print using a lighter
density setting, reduce the amount of black space being printed
(for example, remove background shading and colors in graphs
and presentation documents), and make sure that the printer
has adequate ventilation and is not located in an enclosed
space.
Motor:
Do not use the printer continuously. If the printer is used
continuously, the motor will become too hot. In this case, the
printer will stop and resume printing after the motor has cooled
down.
Note
This condition may occur more often when the printer is
used at high altitude (more than 10,000 feet) due to a lower
air density available to cool the printer.
Data reception error Data may not be received correctly when communications are
unstable.Try connecting again when communication conditions
have improved.
Printer is in boot mode The AC adapter was unplugged while the firmware was being
updated, and the printer started up in boot mode the next time
it was started.

The POWER indicator is not lit. Is the power cord inserted correctly?
Check that the power cord is inserted correctly. If it is, try
plugging it into another electrical outlet.
If the POWER indicator still does not light up, contact
Brother Customer Service at 1-800-255-0415.
Printed labels contain streaks or poor
quality characters, or labels are not fed
correctly.
Is the print head or roller dirty?
Although 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 Roller Maintenance
uu page 47).
Chapter 8
54
A data transmission error appears on
your computer.
Is the correct port selected?
Check that the correct port is selected.
Is the printer in cooling mode (the POWER indicator is
flashing in orange)?
Wait until the indicator stops flashing and then try printing

amounts of data, the printer is unable to accept your print
job until the ongoing printing is finished. In such situations,
execute the print job again after the other jobs are
completed.
Labels are jammed or are not ejected
correctly after printing.
Is there dirt or lint on the roller preventing it from rolling
freely? (See Roller Maintenance uu page 47.)
Check that the ejection path of the label is not blocked.
Check that the RD Roll is set correctly by removing the RD
Roll and reinstalling.
