How to use

Install the TZ2-431 cassette into a compatible Brother P-touch labeler according to the device instructions, ensuring the tape feeds correctly under the print head. Design your label using the labeler's built-in editor or connected software, set the desired font size and alignment appropriate for the 12 mm width, then print. After printing, use the cutter on the labeler to separate the label and apply it to a clean, dry surface for optimal adhesion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply labels to surfaces that are free of dust, oil and moisture and press firmly to ensure full contact. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight on red background labels to reduce potential colour fading. Use appropriate font sizes and contrast settings when marking small cables or narrow surfaces to maintain legibility.
