Q. I ordered for Brother P-Touch 1830VP label tapes recently. However, I wish to return the product as I found that I already have some tapes stored. As it has been more 30 to 35 days from the date of purchase, would you please accept the return of the product?
A. We would definitely like to help you out with the returns. But unfortunately, as per our return policy, we cannot accept the return of any kind of products including label tapes (Faulty or non-faulty) after 30 days of purchase.

Q. How can I print multiple lines on the labels using the Brother P-Touch 1830VP? I tried printing two-lines of text using the Brother P-touch 1830VP label tapes of width size 3.5mm but was unable to do so.
A. Here are the details to print multiple lines:

• Type the first line of the text to be printed on the labels
• Next, push the ‘ENTER’ key to make the second line
• After pressing the ‘ENTER’ key a return mark with an arrow symbol will appear
• Type the text for the second line (the second line will be showed next to the return mark)

Certain Brother P-Touch 1830VP label tapes of width 3.5mm and 6mm are not compatible with creating two-lines or more. And if you try to do so the machine will display ‘Line Limit’ on the screen. Use Brother P-Touch 1830VP label tapes of 9mm, 12mm, and 18mm to create multiple lines of text.

Q. The ink ribbon gets stuck between the tape layers and protrudes out of the printer. I have resolved the issue but I keep encountering this problem frequently. Would you please highlight the reasons behind it?
A. If you follow the precautions you will never have to face such problem in future. First of all, ensure that the end of the tape is fed under the tape guide in the right way - the end of the tape should be coming out of the tape guide properly. Second, make sure that the tape cassette is installed correctly so that the underside of the cassette (including tape exit) touches the base of the compartment. Third, ensure that the label coming out of the tape exit slot is not pulled out - if you pull the tape the ink ribbon might get caught in between the tape layers. Fourth, make sure the ink ribbon is not left loose when the tape cassette is installed. Fifth, never try to cover the tape exit slot when you are performing a printing task. Finally, ensure to use the cutter only when the machine has stopped feeding and the entire label has been printed.

Q. Can print different colours using the Brother P-Touch 1830VP label tapes available on your website?
A. Yes. With the Brother P-Touch 1830VP label tapes you can create customised labels with the variety of colours, styles, and widths available.
