Brother P-touch PT-2700 Manuale utente

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 2700.

Your new P-touch is an easy to operate, feature packed labelling system that makes

creating professional, high quality labels a breeze. In addition to easy label creation via

pre-formatted label layouts, the P-touch editing software features advanced label

formatting, block formats, bar codes and auto-numbering functions.

• Do not use the P-touch in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide. Doing

so may result in accidents or damage the machine.

• Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the mark.

• Do not pull or press on the tape in the cassette.

• Do not put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adaptor connector, or USB port, etc.

• Do not try to print labels using an empty tape cassette or without a tape cassette set in the

P-touch. Doing so will damage the print head.

• Do not touch the print head with your fingers.

• Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not place the P-touch in direct sunlight, near heaters or other hot appliances, in any

location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity, or dusty locations.

Standard operating temperature range: (10

C to 35

• It is recommended that you use the USB cable supplied with the P-touch. Should another

USB cable need to be used, ensure it is of high quality construction.

• Be careful not to scratch the CD-ROM. Do not place the CD-ROM in any location exposed

to high or low temperatures. Do not place heavy objects on the CD-ROM or bend it.

• The software on the CD-ROM is intended for use with the P-touch and may be installed
