Frequently Asked Questions - P-Touch 1600 BROTHER
How do I install the tape cassette?
Open the tape compartment cover, insert the cassette with the spool side down, ensuring it clicks into place. Pull the tape end through the slot, then close the cover.
Why is my printer not turning on?
Check that batteries are inserted correctly (polarity) and have sufficient charge. If using an AC adapter, ensure it is properly connected. Try replacing batteries with fresh ones.
How do I change the font style?
Press the Font key repeatedly to cycle through available fonts. Use the arrow keys to select, then press Enter.
Can I print barcodes?
No, the P-Touch 1600 does not support barcode printing. It is designed for simple text labels with frames and symbols.
How do I clean the print head?
Turn off the printer, remove the tape cassette. Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head (the copper-colored strip). Do not use alcohol or other solvents.
What should I do if the label is getting stuck?
Ensure the tape path is clear. Check that the tape cassette is properly inserted. If jammed, gently pull the label out. Remove and reinsert the cassette if needed.

Use the Length key (if available) or set the number of lines and characters. The printer automatically cuts as needed. For fixed length, consult the manual.
