Before using your machine

Safety precautions

To prevent injury or damage, follow all warnings and caution informations with following symbols.

Warning

AC Adapter

• Do not use voltages or adapters other than the specified voltage (220-240 V) and the

included AC adapter (AD9100).

• Do not overload the electrical outlet.

• Do not use a damaged or modified power cord or plug.

• Do not put furniture or heavy objects on the power cord.

• Do not bend or pull the power cord.

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

• Always make sure that the power plug is fully and securely inserted into the electrical

socket.

• Do not disassemble or modify the AC adapter.

• Do not use in places of high humidity.

Printer

• Do not disassemble or modify the machine.

• Keep all liquids away from the machine.

• Do not touch the machine with wet hands.

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

service center. (The warranty provided with machine does not cover damage arising

from disassembly or modification by the customer).

• If the printer is damaged, comes into contact with liquid, foreign objects get inside

(particularly metallic objects), or if you notice abnormal odours or smoke being

released from the machine, turn off and unplug the printer immediately, and contact

your dealer or authorized service center.

• Plastic bags are used in the packaging of your machine. To avoid danger of

suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children.

AC Adapter

• If the printer will not be used for an extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from

the printer and electrical outlet.

Warning Tell you what to do to avoid the risk of injury.

Caution Tells you about procedures you must follow to prevent damage to the

machine or its surroundings.

Before using your machine

Warning

Tape Cutter

• To avoid injury, do not touch the tape cutter.

Labels

• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may be

difficult to remove, the colour of the label may change or may be transferred to other

objects. Test the suitability of the surface first by affixing a small piece of the label to

an inconspicuous area of the intended surface.

Installation precautions

Caution

• Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,

causing serious damage to the product.

• To avoid damage, do not place any heavy objects on top of the printer.

• Do not bring RFID (non-contact RFID tags) within 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 place the printer within the read range of other RFID reader/writers.

• 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, as the printer may affect operation of the equipment.

Before using your machine

General precautions

Printer

Warning

Caution

• Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies ( (24 mm), (3.5 mm - 36 mm),

(6 - 36 mm), or (24 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 cassettes or

without inserting the tape cassette.

• Do not touch the print head with your fingers.

• 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 10°C - 35°C.

• The software contained on the CD-ROM is meant for use with the printer only. See the

License Agreement on the CD-ROM for further details.

• Use only the USB cable included with the 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.

Before using your machine

SZ (RFID) tape

• SZ tapes can produce labels from 53.5mm to 100mm in length. When printing labels less than

100mm in length the machine will still feed the tape through as if a 100mm label had been

printed. This is so the RFID tag is correctly positioned and ready to print the next label.

• When using SZ tapes the machine will print a label counter in the leading margin of each label

in the format XX/30 (“XX” is a number between 2 and 30, indicating how many labels have

been printed with that cassette).

When all 30 labels are used, the machine will print END, indicating that the cassette needs to

be replaced.

• The RFID tags themselves are in the leading portion of labels printed on SZ tape. Avoid

cutting or damaging this portion, as this may impair or disable the RFID tag.

• If ERROR is printed in the trailing portion of a label, an error occurred when the machine

attempted to write data to the RFID tag. Move the machine away from any other reader/writers

or other devices that may interfere with access to RFID tags and try printing again.

• To avoid damaging cassettes and preventing further use, do not pull out the tape.

• To avoid rendering data unreadable, do not apply labels to metal objects, electronic devices,

or other RFID tags.

Before using your machine

• Data reading may be significantly impaired if labels are applied directly to moist surfaces or

near them. Test operation before applying labels to surfaces.

• Do not bring SZ tape cassettes or RFID tags within 50 mm in front of, above, or on the right

side of the printer when it is in use. This may interfere data writing during printing.

• Do not bring SZ tape cassettes within the read range of other RFID reader/writers. This may

interfere data writing during printing.

• To avoid damaging labels, do not bundle the tape, put objects on it, or scratch it using hard

objects. Do not apply labels to objects where they will be subjected to strong vibration or

impact.

• Check where you will apply labels before applying them.

Once labels are applied, you cannot reapply them elsewhere after peeling them off.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the cassettes or labels.

• Depending on environmental conditions and the location and material of objects labelled,

labels may peel away, become irremovable, or leave a residue. Also, the label color may

change over time, and the surface underneath may be damaged.

• Do not apply labels to skin.

• Before setting the casette, take up any slack in the ribbon by winding it in the direction shown

1 - 2 times around.

• Note that the margin of the first label printed is larger than other labels.

• To avoid label damage or data loss, do not use labels in extremely high or low temperatures.

• Note that applying labels to curved surfaces will lower the read rate because the antenna will

be curved. Extremely curved surfaces may interfere reading, and the tape may peel off.

• Do not bend labels, which may break the antenna or damage the RFID tag.

• To avoid fire, do not put labels in microwave ovens.

• This product uses I-Code SLI RFID chips manufactured by NXP Semiconductors.

These chips are compatible with reader/writers conforming to ISO/IEC 15693 and 18000-3

standards. (Operation is not guaranteed with all reader/writers.)

• When introducing a system based on SZ tape labels, check the environment of use carefully

to ensure correct operation before use.

• When tape or labels are no longer needed, cut the RFID tag portion or take other measures

to interfere data reading or writing before disposal.
