To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter’s edge.
Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine to avoid damage. Do not use tapes that do not have the mark. Brother cannot be held responsible for trouble or damage by the use of unauthorized supplies.
Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch. This may damage the tape cassette.
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 leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause staining.
Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use a soft, dry cloth only.
Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine.
Use only the AC adaptor (model AD-60) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adaptor may void the warranty.

GH
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 easily be peeled off.
6
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 facing 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 and do not move it while rubbing the tape.

IRON-ON TRANSFER TAPE
Iron-on transfer tape is used to transfer your text onto garments using an iron.
1
5
Insert an iron-on transfer tape cassette, and then press p
to print the text. If the
Auto cut
function is set to
ON
, the label will automatically be cut off after it is printed. If the
Auto cut
function is set to
OFF
, hold down c
and press
_
to feed and cut off the label.
Iron the garment to flatten it before transferring the text.
Place the label on the garment at the location where you wish the text to be transferred.
Set the iron to cotton (150 to 180 ˚C), and then press down on the label with the iron for about 15 seconds.
Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about 60 seconds), and then carefully remove the backing paper.
P-TOUCH
☞
White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for ironon 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.
7
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.
Do not move the iron while pressing, otherwise the label may move out of the desired position. Press the iron straight down onto the cloth.
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.
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:
Garments with transfer labels may be dried either inside or outside out.
Do not tumble dry. The transfers will come off and may stick to other items of clothing.
Ironing:
Iron garments with transfers using normal temperature settings.
Be sure to place a piece of cloth between the iron and the label when you iron over it to prevent the label from sticking to the iron.
P-TOUCH
The labels are non-toxic, however, please maintain the usual precautions, such as not placing them in your mouth, etc.
Do not store the tape cassette in areas exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity or dust.
8
FABRIC TAPE
Fabric tape is used to attach a piece of fabric printed with your text onto 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 (320 to 356 ˚F (160 to 180 ˚C)) to press down firmly for 15 to 30 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cassette.
STAMP TAPE
Refer to pages 26 through 28 for a detailed explanation on using the stamp tape to make stamps.
9
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 white 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
2
Turn off the machine.
Open the tape compartment cover, and then remove the tape cassette if one is installed.
The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment.

SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS
The character size can be adjusted using both the
Size
and
Width
functions. Since the character size that can be used depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the character sizes that can be used with each tape width.
Tape Widths

☞
With the
AUTO
setting selected and 1/2" (12-mm) or 3/4" (18-mm) wide tape installed, text consisting of just one line of only uppercase letters (and no accented characters) will be printed with a character size slightly larger than a similar sentence also containing lowercase letters (i.e., 29 points for 1/2" (12-mm) wide tape and 52 points for 3/4"
(18-mm) wide tape).
