1. Press down on the door latch on the top of the machine to remove the back cover. Insert AAA batteries in the battery compartments on the left side of the printer. The bottom three batteries should have their positive terminals pointing to the top of the machine, and the top three batteries should be facing the opposite direction.
2. Place the Brother tape cassette into the opening designed for it. It should only fit in the correct direction. Ensure that that bottom of the tape is completely flat in the socket and then close the cover of the printer.
3. Press the “On/Off” button to turn on the machine. If the machine was used before, it will return to the previous session’s display when you turn it on. The machine will turn itself off if no key is pressed for five minutes.
4. Use the letters on the keyboard to make the message that you want to print. Press the “Caps” key to create capital letters and press the “Num” key to create numbers and symbols, which are shown above each letter key. The message can be up to 55 characters long, but only eight at a time will display.
5. Press the “Function” button to access the menus that will allow you to change the message size, font and underline options. There are also menus for mirror printing, which will reverse the message so that it can be read in a mirror, and the amount of space in the margins of the tape.
6. Use the “Print” button when you are finished typing the message and the Brother label maker will print out your message. Push the cutter lever, located right next to where the tape comes out, to sever the tape.
7. Consult the label maker’s manual for additional instructions about numerous other features including saving and recalling text, repeat printing, and numbering the messages. The manual will also have lists and instructions for special symbols and accented characters that do not appear on the keyboard.
