Q. Can I apply Brother P-Touch 1250VPS label tapes on plants? How long will they last outdoors?
A. Yes. Brother P-Touch 1250VPS label tapes are suitable for variety of smooth surfaces including plants, flat and smooth wooden surface, plastic, glass and much more. The labels should fairly last for more than 2 years.

Q. The characters printed by the Brother P-Touch 1250VPS are not formed properly and appear faint. What needs to be done to sort out the problem?
A. There are several reasons to this problem such as:

• The batteries may be weak and need to be replaced - if the batteries are weak the display panel will show the word ‘BATTERY’. If you do not wish to replace the batteries you can use the optional AC adaptor
• Ensure that the platen is seated in the place correctly and functions properly
• If you get weakly formed characters on the labels one after the other, the gear of the tape feed sub roller (in the roller holder ASSY) might be deformed. In such case you will have to replace the roller holder ASSY
• Push the platen roller towards the thermal head and check the distance between the centre of the platen roller and the ceramic side of the thermal head. The distance should be exactly equal to 1.5 mm
