GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the mark.
• 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.
• To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter’s edge.
• Use only the AC adapter (model H) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adapter will void the warranty.
• Do not try to disassemble the AC adapter.
• 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.
• If the AC adapter is unplugged and no batteries are installed, all text files in the memory may be deleted.
• Use eight AA alkaline batteries in this machine.
BATTERIES
This lightweight and portable machine can be used anywhere by installing eight (8)
AA alkaline batteries
. When you change the batteries, always replace all eight at the same time.
To change the batteries:
1
2
3
4
Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the machine.
If batteries are already installed, remove them.
Insert eight new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that they face the correct direction.
Attach the battery compartment cover.
☞
If alkaline batteries are not used, large fonts cannot be printed.
Be sure to insert the new batteries within five minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise the text shown in the display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an AC 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.

6
OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER
The AC adapter (model H) allows you to use this machine wherever there is an electrical outlet.
To connect the optional AC adapter:
1
2
Insert the plug on the adapter cord into the connector marked DC IN 9.5V on the right side of the machine.
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 display and stored in the memory will be lost.
If the AC adapter is unplugged and no batteries are installed, all text files in the memory may be deleted.
It is recommended that you use the AC adapter when printing large fonts or barcodes on 18-mm- or 24-mm-wide tape since these operations can quickly drain the batteries.
TAPE CASSETTE
1
2
3
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 you to change the tape cassettes quickly and easily.
To change the tape cassette:
4
5
Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released.
If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.
If the ink ribbon in the other tape cassette is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the ribbon.
Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.
☞
If you are using a new tape cassette provided with a stopper, be sure to remove the stopper.
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.
Close the compartment cover, then turn on the machine if it is off.

ATTACHING LABELS
LAMINATED TAPE
The enclosed stick enables you to easily remove the backing from labels printed on laminated tapes.
1 Hold the tape in your left hand, with the printed surface facing up, and hold the stick in your right hand.
2 Pass the tape halfway through the long narrow hole in the stick.
3
4
Turn the stick three-quarters of a turn towards you and pull the stick away from you as shown below.
Peel off the label backing.
ABCDEF
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.
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.
A

C
IRON-ON TRANSFER TAPE
Iron-on transfer tape is used to transfer your text onto garments using an iron.
1 Insert an iron-on transfer tape cassette, press
Mirror
to print the text, then push down on
2 the tape cutter lever to cut off the label.
Iron the garment to flatten it before transferring the text.
3 Place the label on the garment at the location where you wish the text to be transferred.
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), and then carefully remove the backing paper.
P-TOUCH
9
☞
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.
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.
10
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.
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 (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.
☞
The label will have a white background on coloured cloth.
STAMP TAPE
Refer to pages 64 through 66 for a detailed explanation on using the stamp tape to make
stamps.
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 Open the tape compartment 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-and-down motion.
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, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing again.
5 If dust still remains, repeat steps 3 and 4 using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
If none of the above works, contact your service representative.

The underline in the LCD display is called the “cursor”. It is like a pointer which shows your current position and lets you select characters in your text.
The text you create may sometimes be longer than the 11 characters that the LCD display can show at one time. Therefore, the cursor can be moved to show other parts of the text. Pressing the left cursor key ( ) moves the cursor to the left so that the left side of the text can be seen and pressing the right cursor key ( side of the text can be seen.
) moves the cursor to the right so that the right
Some format settings are shown by the triangular and square indicators around the edge of the display. The default settings (the selected settings when the power is turned on for the very first time) have been pre-programmed into the machine and represent the most common settings for labels. However, you can design your own label to have any format that you wish.
Detailed explanations of the formats can be found on pages 70 through 84.
Now, let’s enter the text for our first example, the simple door label shown below.
☞
The label in this example was made using the enclosed 12-mm-wide tape.

Five-line labels, such as this address label, can only be printed on either 18-mm- or 24mm-wide tape.
Before entering the new text, we must first erase the text shown in the display from the previous time that the machine was used. When clearing the display, we can choose whether to erase all of the text and return all format functions (Font, Size, Width, Style, Underline, Frame,

FORMATTING THE TEXT
Now the text is entered as we wish. If it were printed, the standard default settings would be used. The text would be aligned on the left side with 25 mm margins and would not be framed or underlined. In addition, the characters would be auto-sized (AUTO) and printed using the
HELSINKI font and NORMAL style settings. For more details concerning format settings,
please see pages 70 through 84.
For this label, though, let’s assume we want a different style of text: BRUSSELS font, framed, and printed with 4 mm margins (NONE). Therefore, we must change the format.

STORAGE SHELF LABEL EXAMPLE
In this final example, we will practise using the New block function and the Local format function as well as more specialised features such as the Barcode and Numbering functions.
The following labels, which could be used to describe objects stored on a shelf, contain multiple blocks and mixed formatting.

FORMATTING THE TEXT
Now that we’ve entered all of the text, we can start formatting it. Next, let’s use the Local for-
mat function to change the style of the shelf number (B1) in order to emphasise it. The Local
format function is used to select a part of the text so that it can be formatted with a font, size, width, style, underline or frame setting that is different from the rest of the text. Since only the characters in the text block containing the cursor will have a different format, we must first move the cursor to the first block.
To move the cursor to the first block:

PRINTING THE TEXT
Finally, let’s assume that we want to put labels on two different shelves (B1 and B2) while keeping the same barcode. To do this, we can use the Numbering function to print two copies of our text while automatically increasing the shelf number after each label is printed.

BARCODE FUNCTION
The Barcode function, which enables barcodes to be printed as part of labels, is one of this machine’s most advanced features.
☞
This section will explain how to enter a barcode into your text. It is not intended as a comprehensive introduction to the concept of barcoding. For more detailed information, please consult one of the many reference books available.
Since this machine is not specifically designed for special barcode label-making, some barcode readers may not be able to read the labels.
Print barcodes with black ink on a white background.
Four different parameters enable you to create custom barcodes.

NUMBERING FUNCTION
This function can be used to print many copies of the same text while increasing certain characters (letters, numbers or barcode data) after each label is printed. This type of automatic incrementation is very useful when printing serial number labels, production control labels or other labels requiring ascending codes.
Letters and numbers increase as shown below:

Only one numbering field can be selected from any text.
If you include a non-alphanumeric character such as a symbol in the numbering field, only the letters and numbers in the numbering field will be increased when the labels are printed, or just one label will be printed if the field only contains a non-alphanumeric character.
