B. How to Replace Brother DK Label Cartridges?

Changing the label cartridge in your Brother label printer is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Follow this guide to ensure a smooth replacement and get back to printing labels in no time.

The cartridge/spool holder comprises three parts:

• Sensor: It is mounted directly on the printer spool guide.
• Support Tube: The cylindrical part which holds the label roll and allows for smooth rolling of the label roll.
• Board: Also holds the label in place, and is secured by inserting it into one of the notches in the printer.

a. How to Change the Label Roll Instructions

1. To replace an old/ empty roll in a cartridge, simply pry the sensor away from the roll slowly but firmly. It should just then pop out.
   
2. Once the sensor is detached, the support tube and the board can be disassembled as well.
3. Then pick up the board and see the pin position and put the support tube downward where we can have the hole. Go right over the pin just push it through.
4. To reassemble and install a new label roll, make sure you align the slot on the board to the pin of the support tube. This will prevent the board from moving and will lock the board in place.
   
5. To lock the sensor, make sure you align the gap in the support tube with the key in the sensor. This should snap in place, without gaps in between the sides of the label roll and the holder.
   
6. Remember, these cartridges are reusable, but not interchangeable for different sizes of labels. You can check out different sizes of Brother DK Labels at our shop.
7. You can see how the board will go into one of these slots, depending on the label size.
   
8. Close the top cover of the printer.
9. The printer will automatically recognize the new cartridge. You're now ready to start printing with the new label roll!
