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 or AC adapter connector or 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 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.

• A protective clear plastic sticker is placed over the display during manufacturing and shipping. This sticker should be removed prior to use.
