manual abstract
In addition, the variety of tape cartridges available allows you to print labels with different widths and exciting colours. Read this manual carefully before starting and keep the manual in a handy place for future reference. • Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the mark. • Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth. • Do not touch the print head mechanism. Use a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) when cleaning the print head. • To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge. • To prevent damage or breakage of the glass, do not press hard on the LCD display. • Do not put any foreign objects into or heavy objects on the machine. • Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time, otherwise the machine may be stained. • Do not get the machine wet, such as by touching with wet hands or spilling beverages on to the machine. • Do not expose the machine to extremely high temperatures or high humidity. Never leave it on the dashboard, in the back of your car, near heaters or other hot appliances. Keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain. • Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places. • Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch, otherwise the tape cassette may be damaged. • Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape. • Do not try to print labels using an empty tape cassette set in the P-touch. Doing so will damage the print head. • Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend to use the machine for an extended period of time. (Note: When power is disconnected for more than three minutes, all text shown in the display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost. Language and unit settings will also be cleared.) • Do not use old and new batteries together or mix alkaline batteries with other type batteries, or set the positive and negative end in the wrong position. Otherwise, the batteries may leak or be damaged. • Use only the suggested AC adaptor for this machine to prevent any damage or failure. INTRODUCTION GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Power Supply & Tape Cassettes Make sure that the power is turned off when replacing batteries or tape cassette. Open the back cover by pressing in the rough area at the top end of the machine. If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up. Also, if batteries are already installed, remove them. Insert six new AAA-size alkaline batteries (LR03), making sure that their poles point in the correct directions. Always replace all six batteries at the same time using brand new ones. Insert a tape cassette, making sure that it snaps into place. • Make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides. • If the ink ribbon is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette. • Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Securely close the back cover, making sure that it snaps into place. After you have installed the tape, feed the tape (see Feeding) once and then push in the tape cutter lever to cut the tape. When using optional AC adaptor (model AD-5000) Insert the plug on the adaptor cord into the adaptor jack on the top end of the machine. Insert the plug into the nearest standard electrical outlet. For memory back up, we recommend using AAA-size alkaline batteries (LR03) together when using the AC adaptor.
