The symbols used throughout this guide are as follows:

This symbol shows information or directions that should be followed. If ignored, the result may be injury, damage, or failed 

operations.

This symbol shows information or directions that can help you better understand and use the machine more effi ciently.

• The machine is a precision machine. Do not drop, hit or otherwise bang 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 or USB 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.

• You should put the machine near an easily accessible, standard electrical outlet.

• Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies (with 

, 

 marks). Do not 

use any unauthorized 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 fi lm that can fade in color 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 fi nger nails or metal objects, 

or touching the printed surface with hands dampened by water or sweat can 

cause the color 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 fi lm. 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 color 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 affi xing a small piece of it to an 

inconspicuous area of the intended surface.

• 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 License on the CD-ROM for details. This software may be installed on 

multiple computers for use in an offi ce, etc. 

Check that the package contains the following before using the printer.
