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.
