Your P-touch labeler should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance and
life span.
Cleaning the Unit
Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit using a soft, dry cloth.
Use a slightly dampened cloth on difficult to remove marks.
Cleaning the Print Head
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed labels generally
indicates that the print head is dirty. Clean the print head using
a cotton swab or the optional print head cleaning cassette
(TZe-CL4).

Cleaning the Tape Cutter
Tape adhesive can build up on the cutter blade after repeated
use, taking the edge off the blade which may result in the tape
jamming in the cutter.
Maintenance
Always remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter before cleaning the
P-touch labeler.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvent. These may
deform the case or damage the appearance of your P-touch labeler.
• Do not touch the print head directly with your bare
hands.
• Refer to the instructions provided with the print head
cleaning cassette for directions on how to use it.
• About once every year, wipe the cutter blade using a
cotton swab moistened with Isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol).
• Do not touch the cutter blade directly with your bare
hands.
