Q: QuestionHow do I change the setting from 2 lines to 1 on my Brother P-touch PTD220? All I did was remove the empty tape cartridge and replace it with a new one and now the settings are all messed up.

Asked 2 years ago by SherryBear.

• A:Answer Press the right arrow > button which is next to the ok button to take you to line 2, then press the BS (backspace) key and it removes line 2 and you're back to 1 line. If you want to add the second line back, just press enter and you have 2 lines again.
