Printing an identification label for the stamp
holder

1

Insert a TZ tape cassette into the tape com-
partment.

2

Print out the identification label. Refer to
page 44 for more details on printing identi-
fication labels.

3

After the label is cut off, affix it to the end of
the holder so that its bottom edge is on the
same side of the stamp holder as the raised
“brother” logo.

Stamping

Since the length of time and amount of pressure
that the stamp holder should be held down
depends on the amount of ink in the holder, first
practice stamping on a piece of scrap paper.
You can expect to use a stamp film holder
approximately 300 to 500 times, although some
ink is lost when the stamp film is changed. The
actual life of the stamp film holder will vary
depending on the size and thickness of the char-
acters, whether a shading pattern is used, etc.

NOTE

Use 1/2” (12-mm)-wide tape to make an identifica-
tion label for an M-size stamp and use 3/4” (18-
mm)-wide tape to make a label for an L-size stamp.

NOTE

☞

After stamping, wait until the ink has com-
pletely dried before touching it in order to pre-
vent smearing.

☞

If the stamp holder is not pressed straight down,
the stamp may be blurred.

☞

Do not press the stamp holder down too force-
fully.

☞

Do not stamp on wet, sticky, rough or uneven
surfaces. Only stamp on paper. The ink will not
dry on plastic overhead projector transparen-
cies and other ink-impermeable objects.

☞

If a stamp made with a new stamp film is faint
or incomplete, even after forcefully pressing
down the stamp holder for up to 30 seconds,
replace the stamp holder with a new one. Do
not try to refill the stamp holder.
