• Scratching the printed surface of the label with your fi nger nails or metal objects,
or touching the printed surface with hands dampened by water or sweat can
cause the color to change or fade.
CAUTION
• Do not apply labels to any persons, animals, or plants. In addition, never apply
labels to public or private property without permission.
• As the end of the DK Roll is designed to not adhere to the label spool, the last
label may not be cut properly. If this happens, remove the remaining labels,
insert a new DK Roll, and reprint the last label.
Note: To account for this, the number of DK Labels included on each DK Roll
may be more than indicated on the package.
• When a label is removed after being applied to a surface, a portion of the label
may remain.
• Prior to using CD/DVD labels, be sure to follow the instructions in your CD/DVD
player's instruction guide regarding applying CD/DVD labels.
• Do not use CD/DVD labels in a slot loading CD/DVD player, for example a CD
player in a car where the CD is slid into a slot in the CD player.
• Do not peel off the CD/DVD label once it is applied to the CD/DVD, a thin
surface layer may come off, resulting in damage to the disk.
• Do not apply CD/DVD labels to CD/DVD disks designed for use with ink jet
printers. Labels peel off these disks easily and using disks with peeled labels
can result in loss or damage of data.
• When applying CD/DVD labels, use the applicator included with the CD/DVD
label rolls. Failure to do so could cause damage to the CD/DVD player.
• Users shall take full responsibility for applying CD/DVD labels. Brother accepts
no responsibility for any loss or damage of data caused by the inappropriate use
of CD/DVD labels.
• Be careful not to drop the DK Roll.
• DK Rolls use thermal paper and thermal fi lm. Both the label and print will
fade with sunlight and heat. Do not use DK Rolls for outdoor use that requires
durability.
• Depending on the area, material, and environmental conditions, the label may
unpeel or become irremovable, or the color of the label may change or be
transferred to other objects. Before applying the label, check the environmental
conditions and the material. Test the label by affi xing a small piece of it to an
inconspicuous area of the intended surface.
