objects), turn off and unplug the printer immediately, and contact your dealer or

authorized service center.

• If you notice abnormal odor, heat, discoloration, deformation, or anything unusual

when the printer is in use or being stored, unplug the printer and stop using it.

• As a reader/writer for RFID devices, the printer emits radio waves. It may affect the

operation of medical equipment, depending on how and where the printer is used. To

minimize any interference by the printer, strictly follow this guideline.

Patients wearing pacemakers or other implanted medical devices should not allow

their device to reach within 8.8” (22 cm) of antennas in RFID equipment or modular

reader/writers, including this printer.

• Do not wear a packing plastic bag.

To avoid a risk of suffocation, dispose or keep the plastic bag at the place children

cannot reach.

• The printer is a communication device using 13.56 MHz radio waves on the ISM band.

It may generate interference, depending on how and where the printer is used. To

minimize the effect of any interference, we recommend checking interference by or to

the printer in advance. Be extremely careful when you use it near radio astronomy or

medical equipment. The printer may also affect operation of the equipment.

Before Use

Caution

AC Adapter

• If the printer will not be used for an extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from

the printer and electrical outlet.

Tape Cutter

• To avoid injury, do not touch the tape cutter.

Installation and Storage

• To avoid injury, do not put the printer on a unstable environment, such as dilapidated

table or top of the shelf.

• To avoid injury, do not place any heavy objects on top of the printer.

Labels

• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may

have the difficulties to peel or unpeel, the color of the label will be changed, or

transferred to other objects. In prior to adhere the label, check the environmental

condition and the material, and then test the label by affixing a small piece of it to an

inconspicuous area of the intended surface.

Installation Precautions

• Do not bring IC tags (non-contact RFID tags) within 2" (50 mm) in front of, above, or on the

right side of the printer when the printer is in use. If you do so, it may interfere with the data

writing during printing. Even beyond this range, some types of RFID tags may interfere with

writing. Be extremely careful when using high-sensitivity RFID tags.

• Do not put the printer within the read range of other RFID reader/writers. It may interfere with

the data writing during printing. Conversely, this printer may also interfere data reading or

writing by other reader/writers.

• Do not put other RFID reader/writers within the printer's read range, which may interfere data

writing during printing. Conversely, this printer may also interfere data reading or writing by

other reader/writers.

Before Use

General Precautions

Printer

• To avoid accidents or damage, follow the instructions written in this manual.

• Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies ( (1” (24 mm)), (9/64” - 1/2” (3.5

mm - 36 mm)), or (1/4” - 1/2” (6 - 36 mm)) mark.

• Do not insert or remove the tape forcibly.

• Do not insert any foreign objects into the label output slot, AC adapter inlet, or USB port. Do

not obstruct these areas.

• To avoid damaging the print head, do not attempt to print labels with used tape casettes or

without inserting the tape casette.

• Do not touch the print head.

• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile organic solvents to clean the

printer.

• Avoid using or storing the printer in direct sunlight or near heaters or sources of open flame,

or where it is exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity, or excessive dust.

The recommended environmental temperature range is 50°F (10°C) - 95°F (35°C).

• Do not scratch the CD-ROM and place the CD-ROM onto the place with extremely high or

extremely low temperatures.

• The software contained on the CD-ROM is meant for use with the printer only. See License

on CD for further details. This software may be installed on multiple personal computers for

use at an office, etc.

• Use only the USB cable included with the printer.

The printer is not designed or manufactured for applications requiring an extremely high

level of safety, such as in nuclear reaction control systems of nuclear power plants,

aircraft autopilot systems, air traffic control towers, driving control of mass transit

systems, life-support systems, missile launch control of defense systems, or other

applications posing a direct, significant risk of injury, loss of life, or damage if safety

cannot be ensured.

Before Use

SZ (RFID) Tape

• TZ and HG tapes can be set their label length up to 4" (100 mm) but SZ tape can be set its

label length from 2.14" (53.5 mm) to 4" (100 mm) with P-touch Editor or the printer driver. Also,

note that the portion after the specified length up to the next label will be blank.

• On SZ tape, a number in the format xx/30 is printed in the leading margin of labels. (xx is a

number in the range 2-30.) This number indicates what label it is among the 30 RFID tags in

the cassette.

When all 30 labels are used, END will be printed on the label. Replace it with the new cassette.

• RFID tags are in the leading portion of labels printed on SZ tape. Avoid cutting or damaging

this portion, which may impair or disable the RFID tag.

• If ERROR is printed in the trailing portion of a label, an error occurred when writing data to the

RFID tag. Make sure no reader/writers or other devices interfering with access to the RFID

tags and try printing again.

• To avoid damaging cassettes and preventing further use, do not pull out the tape.

• To avoid rendering data unreadable, do not apply labels to metal objects, electronic devices,

or other RFID tags.

Before Use

• Data reading may be significantly impaired if labels are applied directly to moist surfaces or

near them. Test operation before applying labels to surfaces.

• Do not bring SZ tape cassettes or RFID tags within 2” (50 mm) in front of, above, or on the

right side of the printer when it is in use. This may interfere data writing during printing.

• Do not bring SZ tape cassettes within the read range of other RFID reader/writers. This may

interfere data writing during printing.

• To avoid damaging labels, do not bundle the tape, put objects on it, or stretch it using hard

objects. Do not apply labels to objects where they will be subjected to strong vibration or

impact.

• Check where you will apply labels before applying them.

Once labels are applied, you cannot reapply them elsewhere after peeling them off.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the cassettes or labels.

• Depending on environmental conditions and the location and material of objects labeled,

labels may peel away, become irremovable, or leave a residue. Also, the label color may

change over time, and the surface underneath may be damaged.

• Do not apply labels to skin.

• Before use, take up any slack in the ribbon by winding it in the direction shown 2 - 3 times

around.

• Note that the margin of the first label printed is larger than other labels.

• To avoid label damage or data loss, do not use labels in extremely high or low temperatures.

• Note that applying labels to curved surfaces will lower the read rate because the antenna will

be curved. Extremely curved surfaces may interfere reading, and the tape may peel off.

• Do not bend labels, which may break the antenna or damage the RFID tag.

• To avoid fire, do not put labels in microwave ovens.

• This product uses I-Code SLI RFID chips manufactured by NXP Semiconductors.

These chips are compatible with reader/writers conforming to ISO/IEC 15693 and 18000-3

standards. (Operation is not guaranteed with all reader/writers.)

• When introducing a system based on SZ tape labels, check the environment of use carefully

to ensure correct operation before use.

• When tape or labels are no longer needed, cut the RFID tag portion or take other measures

to interfere data reading or writing before disposal.
