General Precautions

RD Rolls
• Use Brother accessories and supplies (indicated by the mark).
• If the label is affixed to a wet, dirty, or oily surface, it may peel off easily. Before affixing the label, clean the surface to which the label is affixed.
• Store the RD Roll in a cool and dark place and use it soon after opening the package.
• Do not expose the RD Roll to direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, wind, or dust as it may cause labels to peel off or discolor.
• Scratching the printed surface of the label with your fingernails or metal objects, or touching the printed surface with wet hands, can cause the color to change or fade.
• DO NOT affix labels to people, animals, or plants. Never affix labels to public or private property without permission.
• As the last label of the RD Roll may not be printed correctly, each roll contains more labels than is indicated on the package.
• When a label is removed after being affixed to a surface, a portion of the label may remain.
• When a label is affixed, it may be difficult to remove the label.
• For warnings and safety precautions, see the Product Safety Guide.

Print Using USB Interface (Mass Storage Mode)

The mass storage feature allows you to send a file to the printer using the USB interface, without installing a printer driver.
This feature is useful for:
• Applying printer settings saved in a command file (BIN file format) and adding templates (BLF file format) into your printer without using any software tools. Both types of files must be distributed by an administrator.
• Executing commands without installing the printer driver.
• Using a device with an operating system (including non-Windows operating systems) supporting a USB host feature to print and transmit data.

4. Drag and drop the file you want to copy to the mass storage area.
5. Press .
The commands in the command file are executed, and the Status LED flashes once in green. When finished, the Power LED lights in green.
6. To turn off mass storage mode, turn off the printer.
, press .
NOTE
• When the printer is turned off, mass storage mode is deactivated and any files in the mass storage area are deleted.
• This feature supports only BIN and BLF files.
• Do not create folders in the mass storage area. If a folder is created, files in the folder cannot be accessed.
• The capacity of the mass storage area is 16 MB.
• If multiple files are copied, the commands may not be executed.
• Only USB connection is available while the printer is in mass storage mode.
• Do not access other files in the mass storage area when executing a copied file.

Print Image Data without Using the Printer Driver

• The mass storage feature supports the JPEG image printing.
• The printer converts a color JPEG image to a black and white image using a dithering process.
• When sending a black and white JPEG image, the dithering process may produce a fuzzy image.
• 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 16 MB.
(2 MB when the mass storage feature is used.)
• The maximum resolution is as follows:
- Height × Width = 24000 × 832 dots
If these limits are exceeded, the data received by the printer is discarded and not printed.
• Print is at 1 pixel = 1 dot.
• The printer performs binary processing (simple binary) to print the image.
• The image is printed with the height-to-width proportions of the received data.

Printing Time (Windows)

Print Labels Distributed to Multiple Printers to Reduce Printing Time (Windows)

When printing a large number of labels, printing can be distributed among multiple printers, via USB or network connection, to reduce printing time.
• The Distributed Printing function can only be used with printers of the same model number.
• The number of pages is divided among the selected printers. If the specified number of pages cannot be evenly divided among the printers, it is divided in the order of the printers as shown.
• It may not be possible to detect information for a printer connected via a USB hub or print server. Before printing, enter the settings manually, and check if the printer can be used for printing.
• (TD-4420DN)
Depending on whether a router is used and the security features in use, such as a firewall, it may not be possible to use this function.
• We recommend performing a connection test for your operating environment. Contact your information technology manager or administrator for assistance.

Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager (Windows)

Because some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the printer, keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor to create templates.
You can check a preview of the printed template before the created template is transferred to the printer.
Notes on Creating Templates
• Some of the text in the template transferred to the printer may be printed using similar fonts and character sizes loaded in the printer. As a result, the printed label may differ from the image of the template created in P-touch Editor.
• Depending on the text object setting, the character size may be automatically reduced or some of the text may not be printed. If this occurs, change the text object setting.
• Although character styles can be applied to individual characters with P-touch Editor, styles can be applied to a block of text only with the printer. In addition, some character styles are not available on the printer.
• Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the printer.
• A P-touch Editor layout using the split printing function (enlarging the label and printing it on two or more labels) cannot be transferred.
• Only the portion of the label within the printable area is printed.
• Fields overflowing the print area may not be printed completely.
Notes on Transferring Templates
• The printed label may differ from the image appearing in the preview area of P-touch Transfer Manager.
• If a 2-dimensional barcode not loaded on the printer is transferred to the printer, the barcode is converted into an image. The image of the converted barcode cannot be edited.
• All transferred objects that cannot be edited by the printer are converted into images.
• Grouped objects are converted into a single bitmap.
Notes on Transferring Data Other Than Templates
• If the number or order of fields in a database is changed and only the database (CSV file) is transferred to update it, the database may not link correctly with the template. In addition, the first line of data in the transferred file must be recognized by the printer as "field names."
• Logos, symbols, and graphics downloaded to the printer are automatically scaled to the resident font or any of the resident symbols in the library.

When using Web Based Management, the following operations are available:
• Displaying your printer status information
• Changing network settings, such as TCP/IP information
• Displaying software version information of the printer and print server
• Changing network and printer configuration details
• We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 11/Microsoft Edge for Windows. Make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use.
• The default login password to manage printer settings is initpass. We recommend you change it to protect your printer from unauthorized access.
To use Web Based Management, your network must use TCP/IP, and the printer and computer must have a valid IP address.
1. Start your web browser.
2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).
For example:
https://192.168.1.2
If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.
• For example:
https://SharedPrinter
If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
• For example:
https://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx
3. If the machine prompts you for a password, type it, and then click .
4. Change the print server settings.
Every time you access Web Based Management, type the password in the Login field, and then click . After
