General Precautions
The Machine
•
The machine is a precision machine. Do not drop, hit or cause any damage to the machine.
• Do not lift the machine by the DK Roll compartment cover. The cover could come off and the
machine could fall and become damaged.
• Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, USB port, Serial port or LAN port.
• Use only the interface cable (USB cable) included with the machine.
• When not in use for an extended period, remove the DK Roll from the machine.
• Do not attempt to print labels while the DK Roll cover is open.
6
DK Roll (DK Label and DK Tape)
•
Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies (with , marks). Do not use any
unauthorised accessories or supplies.
• If the label is attached to a wet, dirty, or oily surface, it may peel off easily. Before applying the
label, clean the surface to which the label will be applied.
• DK Rolls use thermal paper or film that can fade in colour or peel off surfaces if exposed to
ultraviolet light, wind or rain.
• Do not expose the DK Rolls to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or dust. Store
in a cool, dark place. Use the DK Rolls soon after opening the package.
• Scratching the printed surface of the label with your finger nails or metal objects, or touching
the printed surface with hands dampened by water or sweat can cause the colour to change
or fade.
• Do not apply labels to any persons, animals, or plants. In addition, never apply labels to public
or private property without permission.
• As the end of the DK Roll is designed to not adhere to the label spool, the last label may not
be cut properly. If this happens, remove the remaining labels, insert a new DK Roll, and reprint
the last label.
Note: To account for this, the number of DK Labels included on each DK Roll may be more
than indicated on the package.
• When a label is removed after being applied to a surface, a portion of the label may remain.
• Prior to using CD/DVD labels, be sure to follow the instructions in your CD/DVD player’s
instruction guide regarding applying CD/DVD labels.
• Do not use CD/DVD labels in a slot loading CD/DVD player, for example a CD player in a car
where the CD is slid into a slot in the CD player.
• Do not peel off the CD/DVD label once it is applied to the CD/DVD, a thin surface layer may
come off, resulting in damage to the disk.
• Do not apply CD/DVD labels to CD/DVD disks designed for use with ink jet printers. Labels
peel off these disks easily and using disks with peeled labels can result in loss or damage
of data.
• When applying CD/DVD labels, use the applicator included with the CD/DVD label rolls.
Failure to do so could cause damage to the CD/DVD player.
• Users shall take full responsibility for applying CD/DVD labels. Brother accepts no
responsibility for any loss or damage of data caused by the inappropriate use of CD/DVD
labels.
• Be careful not to drop the DK Roll.
• DK Rolls use thermal paper and thermal film. Both the label and print will fade with sunlight
and heat. Do not use DK Rolls for outdoor use that requires durability.
• Depending on the area, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or
become irremovable, or the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other
objects. Before applying 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.
CD-ROM and Software
•
Do not scratch or subject the CD-ROM to high or low temperatures.
• Do not put heavy objects on the CD-ROM or apply force to the CD-ROM.
• The software contained on the CD-ROM is meant for use with this machine only. See the
