INTRODUCTION

General Precautions

• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may

unpeel or become irremovable, the color of the label may change or be

transferred to other objects. Before applying the label, check the environmental

conditions and the material.

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

guide. Doing so may result in accidents or damage the P-touch labeler.

• Use only Brother TZe tapes with the P-touch labeler. Do not use tapes that do not

have the mark.

• Only use a soft, dry cloth to clean the labeler; never use alcohol or other organic

solvents.

• Use a soft wipe to clean the print head; never touch the print head.

• Do not put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector or

USB port, etc.

• Do not place the P-touch labeler/batteries/AC adapter in direct sunlight or rain,

near heaters or other hot appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high

or low temperatures (e.g., on the dashboard or in the back of your car) or high

humidity, or in dusty locations.

• Do not try to print if the cassette is empty; it will damage the print head.

• Do not pull the tape while printing or feeding; it will damage the tape and the

P-touch labeler.

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

Should another USB cable need to be used, ensure it is of high quality

construction.

• Any data saved in memory will be lost due to failure or repair of the P-touch

labeler, or if the battery expires.

• The P-touch labeler is not equipped with a charging feature for rechargeable

batteries.

• The printed text may differ from the text that appears in the LCD.

• The length of the printed label may differ from the displayed label length.

• When power is disconnected for two minutes, all text, format settings and any text

files saved in the memory will be cleared.

• You can also use Heat Shrink Tube in this model. Check the Brother website

(http://www.brother.com/) for further information. You cannot print frames,

pre-set P-touch templates, or use certain font settings when using Heat Shrink

Tube. Printed characters may also be smaller than when using TZe tape.

Strength Adhesive Tapes or other special tapes and observe all precautions

noted in the instructions.
