Troubleshooting Label Printing

Label Print Failed

If you receive an error message window upon printing a label, you'll notice there are several error messages. The first will be the most likely cause but might not always be the most accurate. The Code Error message will show a very short description of the error. Finally, the System Error will show the most accurate description of the error, though it may require some research.

  1. Take a screenshot of the error message to refer back to.
  2. Eliminate the most likely cause by reinstalling the label printer drivers and/or disconnecting/reconnecting your label printer. Search for your specific label printer on Brother's support site to find the proper troubleshooting methods for your device.
  3. Take a look at the Label Print Failed error message below and the different solutions to find one that works for you.
