Frequently Asked Questions - P-touch PT-1880SC BROTHER
What kind of tape does the Brother PT-1880SC use?
The PT-1880SC uses Brother TZe laminated tapes, which are versatile and produce long-lasting, water-resistant labels.
How do I replace the tape cartridge?
Open the tape compartment, pull out the old cartridge, insert a new TZe cartridge with the tape and ink ribbon under the print head, and press firmly until it snaps into place.
Does the PT-1880SC work with a computer?
No, this is a standalone label maker with a built-in keyboard and display. You don’t need a PC or printer driver to create labels.
What power source does it use?
It takes 6 AA alkaline batteries. You can also connect an optional AC adapter for fixed desk use.
How can I make my labels more visible?
You can choose from different text sizes, frames and symbol sets available on the keypad to enhance label contrast and readability.
How often should I clean the print head?
Clean the print head after every tape cartridge change or if print quality declines, using a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.
Can I print two-line labels?
Yes, for tapes that are at least 9mm wide, you can print up to two lines of text. On narrow tapes only one line is possible.
Why are my labels blank or faint?
Check that the ink ribbon is correctly aligned and that the print head is clean. Also ensure the batteries are fresh and the tape is threaded.
Does it have an auto cutter?
The printer includes a manual cutter built into the unit. You can adjust the cutting option to leave a margin or cut straight after each label.
