How to use

Install a compatible DK tape roll according to the user manual, connect the printer to power, and choose a connection method: Ethernet for wired networks, Wi‑Fi for wireless network access, or Bluetooth for direct mobile device printing. Use Brother’s label software or mobile apps to design and send labels, adjust settings via the LCD, and start printing. Regularly check tape supply and clean the print head as recommended to maintain print quality.

Recommendations

For best results, use genuine Brother DK tapes sized for a 58 mm maximum print width, keep firmware and drivers up to date, and place the printer on a stable surface with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged exposure of printed labels to direct sunlight or high heat, as direct thermal prints are sensitive to environmental conditions.
