General Precautions
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
- At the time of purchase, the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery is slightly charged. Before you use the Label Printer for the first time, you must fully charge the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery.
- If the Label Printer will not be used for a long period of time, remove the battery and disconnect the cables before storing.
- If you notice anything unusual about the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery the first time it is used, for example overheating or rust, immediately stop using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery. Contact Brother customer service.
Label Printer
- Depending on the area, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or become permanently affixed, and the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other objects. Before affixing the label, check the environmental conditions and the material. Test the label by affixing a small piece of it to an inconspicuous area of the intended surface.
- DO NOT use the machine, components, or supplies in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide. Doing so may result in accidents or damage.
- Use only Brother TZe tape, HGe tape, or HSe tube with this Label Printer. DO NOT use tapes that do not have the / / logo. For more information about Heat Shrink Tube, visit your local Brother website. You cannot print frames or use certain font settings when using Heat Shrink Tube. Printed characters may also be smaller than when using TZe tape.
- (PT-E310BT) DO NOT apply excessive pressure to the Tape Cutter Lever.
- Use a soft wipe to clean the Print Head; never touch the Print Head.
- DO NOT try to print if the cassette is empty; it will damage the Print Head.
- DO NOT pull the tape while printing or feeding; it will damage the tape and the Label Printer.
- Any data stored in the printer's memory will be lost due to failure, repair of the printer, or if the batteries discharge completely.
- Printed characters may look different from those displayed in the print preview, as your device's or computer’s screen may have a higher resolution than the Label Printer.
- The displayed label length may differ from the actual length of the printed label.
- Be sure to read the instructions provided with Fabric Iron-On Tapes, Extra Strength Adhesive Tapes, or other special tapes and observe all precautions noted in the instructions.
- A protective clear plastic film is placed on the LCD during manufacturing and shipping. Remove this film prior to use.
- DO NOT leave any rubber or vinyl products on the Label Printer for an extended period of time. Otherwise, they may leave marks or residue on the Label Printer.
- DO NOT transport the Label Printer while the USB Type-C cable or the AC Adapter for USB Type-C is connected to the USB port. The port could become damaged.
