Frequently asked questions
Q: Do I need to activate my custom every time before I can use it?
A: No, you need to activate your custom label only once. If you reorder a custom label, it will already be
calibrated in the BMP61 Label Printer and you do not need to update the Y&B Database again.
When you order a different custom label, you can activate that new custom label on every BMP61 Label
Printer following the steps provided in this document.
Q: Can I also use BMP61 custom materials on the TLS2200 and BMP71 Label Printer?
A: Yes, BMP61 Label Printer custom labels can also be used on the TLS2200 and BMP71 Label Printer, if
you clearly indicated this when you ordered the custom label.
To use your custom label with the TLS2200, simply insert it into the printer and start printing.
To use your custom label with the BMP71 Label Printer, update your BMP71 to the latest firmware and use
Brady’s black label media adapter.
