manual abstract
Do not use tapes that do not have the mark. • Tapes are available in three different widths: 1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm) and 1/2” (12 mm). • Do not pull the tape since this may damage the tape cassettes. • Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape. • Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use only a soft, dry cloth. • Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the machine for an extended period of time. Note: If 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. • Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine. • 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 use the machine in dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain. • Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause staining. • After inserting a new tape cassette, advance the tape by holding down and pressing once. • Do not touch the print head mechanism. If the head is touched, clean it immediately with a soft wipe (e.g., a cotton swab) to avoid permanent damage. • To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter’s edge. • Use only the AC adapter designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adapter will void the warranty. Please contact your Brother dealer for details. POWER SUPPLY Batteries Since this machine is compact and portable, it can be used anywhere by installing six AAA alkaline batteries (LR03). When changing the batteries, always replace all six at the same time. 1 Press in on the rough area at the top end of the machine and fold open the back cover. 2 If batteries are already installed, remove the tape cassette (if one is installed) by pulling it straight out, and then remove the batteries. 3 Insert the batteries into the battery compartment with the positive end of the bottom three batteries pointing toward the top end of the machine, and the positive end of the top three batteries pointing in the opposite direction. Note: When replacing the batteries, insert the new ones within three minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise all text shown in the display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an outlet with the AC adapter). 4 Securely close the back cover, making sure that it snaps into place. Optional AC adapter The AC adapter allows you to use this machine wherever an electrical outlet is available. Use Brother’s AD-30 adapter for your new PT-1100. 1 Insert the plug on the adapter cord into the adapter jack on the bottom end of the machine. 2 Insert the plug into the nearest standard electrical outlet.
