Follow these guidelines to avoid fire, electric shock, or failure.

• Do not use voltages or adapters other than the specified voltage (100-240 V) and the

included AC adapter (AD9100).

• Do not overload the electric outlet.

• Do not damage or modify the power cord or plug. Also, do not put furniture or heavy

objects on the power cord, and do not bend or pull it forcibly.

• Do not use the damaged power cord.

• Do not touch the AC adapter or power plug with wet hands.

• Insert the plug fully to the electric outlet. Avoid using electrical outlets that do not allow

a secure connection.

• Do not disassemble or modify the AC adapter.

• Do not use in places of high humidity.

Before Use

Warning

Printer

Follow these guidelines to avoid fire, electric shock, or failure.

• Do not disassemble or modify the printer.

• Do not drop or step on, or apply high impact.

• Do not wet the printer with coffee, juice, or water from cups or containers.

• Do not use the printer if foreign objects are in it.

• Stop using the printer when you notice abnormal odor or smoke.

• Do not touch the printer if your hands are wet.

• For internal inspection, adjustment, or repair, contact your dealer or authorized

service center. (We shall not liable for any damage from customer disassembly or

modification, even if within the warranty period.)

• If the printer is damaged, liquid, or foreign objects get inside (particularly metallic

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.

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.

Before Use

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

General Precautions

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.

• 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.
