User’s Guide
English
With your new Brother P-touch label maker, you can create a
wide variety of custom, self-adhesive labels. This label maker
uses Brother "TZe" tapes from 3.5 mm to 12 mm widths. "TZe"
tape cassettes are available in many colors and sizes. Visit
www.brother.com for a complete list of tapes compatible with
your machine.
Read this manual carefully before starting and keep the manual
in a handy place for future reference.
• Always use the specified voltage and the suggested AC adapter for the P-touch
labeler to prevent any damage or failure.
• Do not touch the P-touch labeler during a lightning storm.
• Do not use the P-touch labeler/AC adapter in places of high humidity such as
bathrooms.
• Do not overload the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the power cord or plug. Do not forcibly
bend or pull the power cord. Always hold the AC adapter when disconnecting from
the power outlet.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted to the power outlet. Do not use an outlet that
is loose.
• Do not allow the P-touch labeler/AC adapter/power plug/batteries to get wet, for
example, by handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages on to them.
• Since loss of eyesight may result when leaked fluid from batteries gets into your eyes,
immediately rinse your eyes with a large amount of clean water, and then seek
medical attention.
• Do not disassemble or modify the P-touch labeler/AC adapter/batteries.
• Do not allow a metal object to contact both the plus and minus ends of a battery.
• Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, to change the batteries.
• Do not throw the batteries into fire or expose to heat.
• Disconnect the AC adapter and remove batteries immediately and stop using the
P-touch labeler if you notice abnormal odor, heat, discoloration, deformation or
anything unusual while using or storing it.
• Do not use a damaged or leaking battery as the fluid may get on your hands.
• Do not use a deformed or leaking battery or one whose label is damaged. There is a
possibility of generating heat.
Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury, liquid leakage,
burns or heat.
• When the P-touch labeler is not being used, store it out of the reach of children. In
addition, do not allow children to put the P-touch labeler parts or labels in their
mouths. If any object has been swallowed, seek medical attention.
• Do not touch metal parts around the print head immediately after printing.
• Do not touch the cutter blade.
• If leaked fluid from batteries gets on your skin or clothes, immediately rinse them with
clean water.
• Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the
P-touch labeler.
• Do not use a battery other than that specified. Do not use combinations of old and
new batteries or combinations of different types, different charging levels, different
manufacturers or different models. Do not insert a battery with its plus and minus
ends reversed.
• Do not drop or hit the P-touch labeler/AC adapter.
• Do not press on the LCD display.
• Do not put your finger inside the P-touch labeler when you close the cassette cover.
• Before using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, carefully read the instructions for the
batteries and battery charger, and be sure to use them correctly.
• When using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries with a specialized
battery charger before using the batteries.
• Do not put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector, battery
compartment, 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.

labeler.
• Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure, repair of the P-touch labeler, or
if the battery expires.

User’s Guide
English
With your new Brother P-touch label maker, you can create a
wide variety of custom, self-adhesive labels. This label maker
uses Brother "TZe" tapes from 3.5 mm to 12 mm widths. "TZe"
tape cassettes are available in many colors and sizes. Visit
www.brother.com for a complete list of tapes compatible with
your machine.
Read this manual carefully before starting and keep the manual
in a handy place for future reference.
• Always use the specified voltage and the suggested AC adapter for the P-touch
labeler to prevent any damage or failure.
• Do not touch the P-touch labeler during a lightning storm.
• Do not use the P-touch labeler/AC adapter in places of high humidity such as
bathrooms.
• Do not overload the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the power cord or plug. Do not forcibly
bend or pull the power cord. Always hold the AC adapter when disconnecting from
the power outlet.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted to the power outlet. Do not use an outlet that
is loose.
• Do not allow the P-touch labeler/AC adapter/power plug/batteries to get wet, for
example, by handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages on to them.
• Since loss of eyesight may result when leaked fluid from batteries gets into your eyes,
immediately rinse your eyes with a large amount of clean water, and then seek
medical attention.
• Do not disassemble or modify the P-touch labeler/AC adapter/batteries.
• Do not allow a metal object to contact both the plus and minus ends of a battery.
• Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, to change the batteries.
• Do not throw the batteries into fire or expose to heat.
• Disconnect the AC adapter and remove batteries immediately and stop using the
P-touch labeler if you notice abnormal odor, heat, discoloration, deformation or
anything unusual while using or storing it.
• Do not use a damaged or leaking battery as the fluid may get on your hands.
• Do not use a deformed or leaking battery or one whose label is damaged. There is a
possibility of generating heat.
Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury, liquid leakage,
burns or heat.
• When the P-touch labeler is not being used, store it out of the reach of children. In
addition, do not allow children to put the P-touch labeler parts or labels in their
mouths. If any object has been swallowed, seek medical attention.
• Do not touch metal parts around the print head immediately after printing.
• Do not touch the cutter blade.
• If leaked fluid from batteries gets on your skin or clothes, immediately rinse them with
clean water.
• Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the
P-touch labeler.
• Do not use a battery other than that specified. Do not use combinations of old and
new batteries or combinations of different types, different charging levels, different
manufacturers or different models. Do not insert a battery with its plus and minus
ends reversed.
• Do not drop or hit the P-touch labeler/AC adapter.
• Do not press on the LCD display.
• Do not put your finger inside the P-touch labeler when you close the cassette cover.
• Before using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, carefully read the instructions for the
batteries and battery charger, and be sure to use them correctly.
• When using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries with a specialized
battery charger before using the batteries.
• Do not put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector, battery
compartment, 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 apply excessive pressure to the cutter lever.
• 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.
• Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure, 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.
• A protective clear plastic sticker it placed over the display during manufacturing and
