INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 210E!

Your new P-touch will allow you to create labels for any application. Its extreme versatility enables you to design custom labels by choosing from different frame designs and many character sizes and styles. In addition, the four tape widths (6 mm, 9 mm,

12 mm and 18 mm) and variety of tape colours allow you to print personalised labels, useful for colour-coded filing.

You no longer have to worry about urgent tasks that require professional printing. The quality and performance of the P-touch 210E makes it an extremely practical machine.

Although this machine is easy to use, we suggest that you read this User’s Guide carefully before starting and keep it in a handy place for future reference.

Use only the adapter designed exclusively for this machine. See GENRRAL PRECAU-

TIONS

on page 4.

After using your P-touch, store it in the enclosed carrying case. This carrying case is designed to help protect the P-touch while enabling you to carry it anywhere you go.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

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

• Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch. This may damage the tape cassette.

• Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine.

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

• Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time.

Doing so may cause staining.

• Do not use the machine in dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.

• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures or high humidity. Never leave it on the dashboard or in the back of your car.

• Do not touch the print head mechanism. If the head is touched, clean it immediately with a cotton swab to avoid permanent damage.

• When the machine is not being used for a long period of time and it is not necessary to keep the text files stored in the memory, disconnect the AC adapter, and remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking and damaging the machine.

• When the AC adapter is connected, unplugging the adapter from the electrical outlet before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text files in the memory, even if batteries are installed.

• Use six AA (AM3, LR6) alkaline batteries in this machine.

• Use only the AC adapter designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adapter will void the warranty.

4

BATTERIES

This lightweight and portable machine can be used anywhere by installing six (6) AA

(AM3, LR6, SUM-3, R6) batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended.

When changing the batteries, always replace all six at the same time.

To change the batteries:

1 Remove the back cover by pressing in on the rough area at the top end of the machine and pulling off the cover. Pulling off the back cover lifts up the tape release lever.

2

3

If batteries are already installed, remove them.

Insert six new batteries, making sure that they face the direction shown in the illustration on the bottom of the battery compartment. The positive ends of the three batteries in the bottom row point towards the bottom of the machine, while the positive ends of the top three batteries point in the opposite direction.

4

☞

Attach the back cover by inserting the tab on the bottom end of the cover into the slot on the bottom end of the machine, then pushing down firmly on the top end of the cover until it snaps into place.

Be sure to insert the new batteries within five minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise the text shown in the LCD display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an electrical outlet with the AC adapter).

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use this machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost.

If alkaline batteries are not used, large fonts and bar codes cannot be printed.

5

OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER

The AC adapter allows you to use this machine wherever there is an electrical outlet.

To connect the optional AC adapter:

1 Insert the plug on the adapter cord into the connector marked DC IN 9.5V on the bottom end of the machine.

2

☞

Insert the plug on the adapter into the nearest standard electrical outlet.

Only use the AC adapter designed exclusively for this machine.

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use this machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the LCD display and stored in the memory will be lost.

When the AC adapter is connected, unplugging the adapter from the electrical outlet before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text files in the memory, even if batteries are installed.

It is recommended that you use the AC adapter when printing large fonts and bar codes on 18-mm-wide tape since these operations can quickly drain the batteries.

6

TAPE CASSETTE

A single TZ tape cassette is supplied with this unit. However, since TZ tape cassettes are available for this machine in a wide variety of colours and sizes, it is possible to make distinctive colour-coded and stylised labels. In addition, this machine has been designed to allow the tape cassettes to be changed quickly and easily.

To change the TZ tape cassette:

1 Remove the back cover by pressing in on the rough area at the top end of the machine and pulling off the cover. Pulling off the back cover lifts up the tape release lever.

2

3

If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight out.

Remove the stopper from a new tape cassette.

☞ Make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the cassette tape guides.

4

If the ink ribbon in the cassette is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the tape cassette until the ribbon is taut. If you are using an old tape cassette, be sure the ribbon is taut before inserting it into the unit.

Insert the tape cassette firmly into the tape compartment, making sure that the entire back of the cassette touches the bottom of the compartment.

☞ When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on the corner of the metal guide.

5

ABCDEF

NON-LAMINATED TAPE

Labels printed on non-laminated tapes can be folded in half so that the inside edges of the two backing pieces come off the label, enabling the backing to be peeled off easily.

8

INSTANT-LETTERING TAPE (RUB-ON TRANSFERS)

Instant-lettering tape is used to transfer your text onto paper. After printing the text onto instant-lettering tape and cutting off the label, position the label with its non-printed side up on a sheet of paper. By simply rubbing the instant lettering tape’s non-printed side with the enclosed stick, you can transfer the text directly onto the paper.

☞ Hold the tape very firmly so that it does not move while you transfer the text.

IRON-ON TRANSFER TAPE

Iron-on transfer tape is used to transfer your text onto garments using an iron.

Mirror

1 Insert an iron-on transfer tape cassette, press to print the text, then press in

☞ the tape cutter lever to cut off the label.

2 Iron the garment to flatten it before transferring the text.

3 Place the label with its non-printed side up at the location where you wish to transfer the text onto the garment.

4 Set the iron to cotton (150 to 180

°

C), then press down on the label with the iron for about 15 seconds.

5 Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about 60 seconds), then carefully remove the backing tape.

White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for iron-on transfers.

You can also make transfers to garments made from 100% linen or cotton/ polyester blends as long as they have a plain (smooth) surface.

The label will not adhere properly to any cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sensitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or other similar fibres, are also unsuitable as they may be damaged when pressing with an iron at a high temperature.

9

Press the iron straight down onto the cloth. Do not move the iron while pressing, otherwise the label may move out of the desired position.

After the backing tape has been removed, the transferred label may appear glossy. In addition, some white spots may have appeared on the label if it was touched while the backing tape was peeled off. These can be removed by ironing over the label with a piece of cloth placed between the label and the iron.

The label will have a white background on coloured cloth.

Since the transferred label cannot be removed once it is applied, make all transfers with care.

Washing:

Garments with transfer labels can be washed over 20 times if the label has been transferred correctly. Normal biological and non-biological household detergents may be used.

The label may become discoloured if the garment is placed in bleach for an extended length of time.

Be careful that hard objects, such as buckles or buttons, do not come into contact with the label during the wash.

Do not dry clean garments which have had transfer labels applied.

Drying:

Do not tumble dry garments which have had transfer labels applied. The transfers may come off and stick to other items of clothing.

Garments with transfer labels may be dried inside out as well as in the normal way.

Ironing:

Use normal temperature settings to iron garments with transfers.

Iron with a piece of cloth placed between the iron and the transfer to prevent it from sticking to the iron.

P-TOUCH

10

The transfer labels are non-toxic, however, please maintain the usual precautions, such as not placing them in your mouth, etc.

Do not store iron-on transfer tape cassettes in areas exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity or dust.

FABRIC TAPE

A piece of fabric tape printed with your text can be attached to garments using an iron.

After printing the text onto fabric tape and cutting off the label using scissors, place the label on an ironed garment at the location where you wish to attach it in such a way that the printed text can be read correctly. Cover the label with another piece of cloth and use an iron set to a medium-high temperature (160 to 180

°

C) to press down firmly for 10 to 15 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cassette.

STAMP TAPE

By making a stencil from TZ stamp stencil film and affixing it to a self-inking stamp film holder, you can easily create your own personalised stamps. To make a stamp using your P-touch 210E, install a MEDIUM stamp stencil film (18-mm-wide stencil

film with a 12-mm-wide print area) cassette as described on page 7, then enter the text

as explained below.

1 Use the Length function to set the tape length to 105 mm (for MEDIUM stamp stencil films).

2 Use the Horizontal alignment function to select the CENTRE setting.

3 Use the Tape feed function to select the FULL setting.

4 Enter the text so that it fits within an area of 9

×

55 mm (for MEDIUM stamp stencil films).

To check the text and its length, remove the stamp stencil film cassette and insert a normal 12-mm-wide label tape cassette, then print a trial label.

For more information refer to the instructions included with the Stamp Kit.

11

PRINT HEAD & ROLLERS

Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machine’s print head and rollers. This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very dusty environment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a blank horizontal streak may appear through the label text. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the machine’s head may need to be cleaned from time to time.

To clean the print head and rollers:

1 Turn off the machine.

2 Remove the back cover, then remove the tape cassette if one is installed. The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment.

3 Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-anddown motion. The print head is the thin vertical line to the left of the ceramic

“lump”.

Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion while rotating them with your finger.

4 Install a tape cassette, attach the back cover, then try printing again.

5 If dust still remains, repeat steps 2 through 4 using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

☞ The UK Health & Safety Executive recommends that precautions be taken to ensure that solvents such as isopropyl alcohol be used in a safe manner.

Please read and follow the instructions printed on the solvent’s container.

If none of the above works, contact your service representative.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

1. The display stays blank after you have turned on the machine.

2. The machine does not print or the printed characters are blurred.

3. The text files that you stored in the memory are no longer there.

4. The printed characters are not formed properly.

5. A blank horizontal white line appears through the printed label.

6. Striped tape appears.

7. The machine has “locked up” (i.e., nothing happens when a key is pressed).

Remedy
