Safety Precautions
Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of smoke or heat generation, explosion, fire, or injury.
DANGER
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Carefully observe the following precautions for the rechargeable Li-ion battery (hereafter referred to as
“rechargeable battery”). If these precautions are not followed, overheating, leaking, or cracks in the battery
may result in an electrical short, explosion, smoke, fire, electrical shock, injury to yourself or others, or
damage to the product or other property.
• Use only for its intended purpose.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery using an unsupported charger.
• DO NOT charge, use, or leave the battery in high-temperature (above 60°C) locations.
• DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with or to be immersed in water.
• Keep away from heat and fire.
• DO NOT connect the + and - terminals with metal objects such as wire. DO NOT carry or store the
battery with metal objects.
• DO NOT throw, hit or damage the battery in any way.
• DO NOT solder any connections to the battery.
• DO NOT disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the rechargeable battery.
• Dispose of batteries at an appropriate collection point. Be sure to observe all applicable local regulations.
• When charging the rechargeable battery, use the battery charger designed specifically for the
rechargeable battery.
• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery in corrosive environments, such as areas where salty air, salt
water, acids, alkalis, corrosive gases, chemicals, or any corrosive liquid is present.
• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or leaking.
• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery with the polarity (+) (-) reversed. Check the orientation of the
rechargeable battery before inserting it, and do not try to force the rechargeable battery into your printer.
Charging the rechargeable battery with the polarity reversed could cause an abnormal chemical reaction
within the rechargeable battery or abnormal current flow during discharge.
• DO NOT directly connect the rechargeable battery to a household electrical supply.
• Liquid (electrolyte) leaking from your printer or rechargeable battery may indicate that the rechargeable
battery is damaged. If the rechargeable battery leaks, immediately stop using your printer and isolate
your printer by placing it in a bag.
DO NOT touch the electrolyte. If electrolyte gets in the eyes, do not rub them and obtain medical
attention. Immediately wash out the eyes with water continuously for at least 15 minutes. If left alone, the
electrolyte could cause eye damage. If electrolyte contacts your skin or clothing, immediately rinse them
with water.
• DO NOT put the rechargeable battery, or a printer with the rechargeable battery installed, into a
microwave oven or a high-pressure container.
• DO NOT dispose of the rechargeable battery in fire or intentionally overheat. This could cause the
internal insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms to fail. Additionally, the electrolyte
solution could catch fire.
• DO NOT leave a drained rechargeable battery in your printer for a long period of time. This could shorten
the life of the rechargeable battery or lead to an electrical short.
• If your printer can only be used for a short period of time, even though the rechargeable battery is fully
charged, the rechargeable battery may have reached the end of its service life. Replace the rechargeable
battery with a new one. When removing and replacing the rechargeable battery, cover the terminals of the
old rechargeable battery with tape to avoid creating a short in the battery.

General Precautions
Printer
• Depending on the area, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or become
permanently affixed, and the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other objects. Before affixing
the label, check the environmental conditions and the material. Test the label by affixing a small piece of it to
an inconspicuous area of the intended surface.
• If the Bluetooth and wireless LAN functions are both turned on, the communication speed may decrease due
to radio wave interference. If this occurs, turn off the function you are not using (the Bluetooth or wireless
LAN function).
• DO NOT cover, or insert foreign objects into the Paper Exit Slot, DC Connector, or USB port.
• DO NOT use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvents to clean the printer. Doing so may
cause damage to the surface finish. Use isopropyl alcohol or ethanol only when cleaning the print head or
roller. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the printer.
• When not in use for a period of time, remove the Label Roll from the printer.
• Always keep the Roll Compartment Cover closed when printing.
• This printer uses thermal paper. If the printed paper is marked with ink, for example written on or stamped,
the ink may cause the printed text to fade or become discoloured. In addition the applied ink may take some
time to dry.
Printed text may fade or become discoloured if the label comes into contact with any of the following: vinyl
chloride products, leather goods such as wallets and purses, organic compounds such as alcohol, ketones,
or esters, adhesive tape, erasers, rubber mats, magic marker ink, permanent marker ink, correction fluid,
carbon, glue, diazo sensitised paper, hand lotion, hair care products, cosmetics, water, or sweat.
• DO NOT touch the printer with wet hands.
• DO NOT use folded, wet, or damp paper. Otherwise a paper misfeed or malfunction may occur.
• DO NOT touch paper or labels with wet hands. Otherwise a malfunction may occur.
Printer, AC Adapter (Optional), Car Adapter (Optional), or Accessories

• High-density (dark) printing discharges the battery faster than low-density printing. Adjust the print
density setting in the Device Settings. For more information, see Related Topics.
• The battery charging must take place in an environment with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C,
otherwise the battery will not be charged. If the charging stops because the environment temperature is
too low or too high, place the printer in an environment with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C and
try charging again.
• The recommended charging temperature range for the battery is from 5°C to 35°C.
• If you use the printer when both the battery is installed and the AC Adapter or Car Adapter is
connected, charging may stop even if the battery is not fully charged.

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.
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.
• The 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.
Transferring Templates
• The printed label may differ from the image appearing in the preview area of P-touch Transfer Manager.
• If a two 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.
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 recognised 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.

Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:
• If you are using an enterprise wireless network, you must know the User ID and Password.
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place your machine as close to the
wireless LAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the
two devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your
documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications.
• If there is a signal in the vicinity, wireless LAN allows you to freely make a LAN connection. However, if
security settings are not correctly configured, the signal may be intercepted by malicious third-parties,
possibly resulting in:
- Theft of personal or confidential information
- Improper transmission of information to parties impersonating the specified individuals
- Dissemination of transcribed communication contents that were intercepted
Make sure you know your wireless router/access point's Network Name (SSID) and Network Key
(Password). If you cannot find this information, consult the manufacturer of your wireless router/access
point, your system administrator, or Internet provider. Brother cannot provide this information.

Before Using Network Security Features
Your machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These
network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent
unauthorised access to the machine.
We recommend disabling the FTP server and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these
protocols is not secure.

Supported Security Certificate Features
Your machine supports the use of multiple security certificates, which allows secure management, authentication,
and communication with the machine. The following security certificate features can be used with the machine:
• SSL/TLS communication
• IEEE 802.1x authentication
Your machine supports the following:
• Self-signed certificate
This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS
communication without creating or installing a different certificate from a CA.
• Certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA)
There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a certificate from a CA or if
you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA:
- When using a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from this print server.
- When importing a certificate and a private key.
• Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate
To use a CA certificate that identifies the CA and owns its private key, you must import that CA certificate
from the CA before configuring the security features of the Network.
• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend contacting your system administrator
first.
• When you reset the print server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key
that are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after
resetting the print server, export them before resetting, and then reinstall them.
• When you reset the network settings, the certificate and the private key that are installed will be deleted.

Introduction to SSL/TLS
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an effective method of protecting data sent over
a local or wide area network (LAN or WAN). It works by encrypting data, such as a print job, sent over a network,
so anyone trying to capture it will not be able to read it.
SSL/TLS can be configured on both wired and wireless networks and will work with other forms of security such
as WPA keys and firewalls.

Brief History of SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers
and servers. For example, when you use Internet Explorer for Internet Banking and you see https:// and the little
padlock icon in the web browser, you are using SSL. SSL grew to work with additional applications, such as
Telnet, printer, and FTP software, in order to become a universal solution for online security. Its original design
intentions are still being used today by many online retailers and banks to secure sensitive data, such as credit
card numbers, customer records, etc.
SSL/TLS uses extremely high levels of encryption and is trusted by banks all over the world.

Home > Security > Use SSL/TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS > Benefits of Using SSL/TLS
Benefits of Using SSL/TLS
The primary benefit of using SSL/TLS is to guarantee secure printing over an IP network by restricting
unauthorised users from reading data sent to the machine. SSL's key selling point is that it can be used to print
confidential data securely. For example, an HR department in a large company may be printing wage slips on a
regular basis. Without encryption, the data contained on these wages slips can be read by other network users.
However, with SSL/TLS, anyone trying to capture the data will see a confusing page of code and not the actual
wage slip.

Option Description
SNMP v1/v2c
read-write
access
The print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all of
your machine's applications in this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not
authenticate the user, and data will not be encrypted.
SNMPv3 read-
write access
and v1/v2c
read-only
access
The print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of
version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.
When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only
access mode, some of your machine's applications that access the print
server do not work correctly since they authorise the read-only access of
version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, we recommend
using the SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.
SNMPv3 read-
write access
The print server uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print
server securely, use this mode.
When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, note the following:
• Except for BRAdmin Professional, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c
will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use the
SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMP

• Before you verify the server certificate, you must import the CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the
server certificate. Contact your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to confirm
whether a CA certificate import is necessary.
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
The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
3. If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.
The default password to manage this machine’s settings is located on the back of the machine and marked

6. Configure the IEEE 802.1x authentication settings.
• To enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for wired networks, select Enabled for Wired 802.1x status on
the Wired 802.1x Authentication page.
• If you are using EAP-TLS authentication, you must select the client certificate installed (shown with
certificate name) for verification from the Client Certificate drop-down list.
• If you select EAP-FAST, PEAP, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-TLS authentication, select the verification method
from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list. Verify the server certificate using the CA
certificate, imported to the machine in advance, issued by the CA that signed the server certificate.
Select one of the following verification methods from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list:
122
Option Description
No Verification The server certificate can always be trusted. The verification is not performed.
CA Cert. The verification method to check the CA reliability of the server certificate, using the
CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the server certificate.
CA Cert. + ServerID The verification method to check the common name 1 value of the server certificate,
in addition to the CA reliability of the server certificate.
7. When finished with configuration, click Submit.
For wired networks: After configuring, connect your machine to the IEEE 802.1x supported network. After a
few minutes, print the Network Configuration Report to check the <Wired IEEE 802.1x> status.

Authentication Methods
IEEE 802.1x Authentication Methods
EAP-FAST
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunneling (EAP-FAST) has been
developed by Cisco Systems, Inc., which uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric key
algorithms to achieve a tunnelled authentication process.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentication methods:
• EAP-FAST/NONE
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
• EAP-FAST/GTC
EAP-MD5 (Wired network)
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Message Digest Algorithm 5 (EAP-MD5) uses a user ID and password for
challenge-response authentication.
PEAP
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is a version of EAP method developed by Cisco
Systems, Inc., Microsoft Corporation and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel between a client and an authentication server, for sending a user
ID and password. PEAP provides mutual authentication between the server and the client.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• PEAP/MS-CHAPv2
• PEAP/GTC
EAP-TTLS
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Tunneled Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS) has been developed by
Funk Software and Certicom. EAP-TTLS creates a similar encrypted SSL tunnel to PEAP, between a client
and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and password. EAP-TTLS provides mutual authentication
between the server and the client.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-TTLS/CHAP
• EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAP
• EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAPv2
• EAP-TTLS/PAP
EAP-TLS
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) requires digital certificate
authentication both at a client and an authentication server.

Printed Image Problems
Problem Solution
Printed paper contains streaks or
poor quality characters, or paper is
not fed correctly.
Is the print head or roller dirty?
Although the print head generally remains clean under normal use, lint or dirt
from the roller may become stuck on the printer head. If this occurs, clean the
roller. For more information, see Related Topics.
The print quality is poor. • Is there dust or dirt on the print head or roller preventing it from rotating
freely?
Clean the print head or roller. For more information, see Related Topics.
• Adjust the printing density. The print density can be specified in the Printer
Setting Tool.
Printed barcodes cannot be read. • Print labels so that barcodes are aligned with the print head as shown
below:

Printer Problems
Problem Solution
The LED indicator or the LCD is not
lit.
• Is the battery inserted correctly?
Make sure the battery is inserted correctly. If it is, check that the battery
has sufficient charge remaining.
• Is the adapter cord securely connected?
Make sure the cord is connected correctly.
• If the LED Indicator or the LCD still does not light up, contact Brother
customer service.
A data transmission error appears on
the computer.
• Is the correct port selected?
Make sure the correct port is selected.
• Is the printer in cooling mode?
The message Cooling appears on the LCD.
Wait until the message disappears and then try printing again.
• Are there any unfinished print jobs?
If you try to print while other users are printing large amounts of data, the
printer is unable to accept your print job until the current print jobs are
completed. If this occurs, send the print job again after the other jobs are
completed.
I want to reset the printer/delete the
data transferred from the computer.
See Related Topics.
I want to cancel the current print job. Make sure that the printer is On, and then press the (Power) button or
(Back) button.
Print head, motor, or battery is too
hot.
• Head:
If the print head becomes too hot, it may produce imaging on the paper in
areas not intended to be printed. This condition is normal when printing
documents with a lot of “black” content.
The printer will stop and resume printing after the print head has cooled
down.
To avoid or delay this condition, print using a lighter density setting, reduce
the amount of black space being printed (for example, remove background
shading and colors in graphs and presentation documents), and make
sure that the printer has adequate ventilation and is not located in an
enclosed space.
• Motor or battery:
Do not use the printer continuously. If the printer is used continuously, the
motor or battery will become too hot. In this case, the printer will stop and
resume printing after the motor or battery has cooled down.
Transferring the program failed. The system will recover if the program is transferred again. To resolve the
issue, contact your Brother dealer or Brother customer service for assistance.
