General Precautions

• DO NOT install this machine near any device that will cause electromagnetic

interference.This machine may malfunction if left near a television, radio, etc.

• DO NOT use the P-touch in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide. Doing

so may result in accidents or damage the machine.

• DO NOT put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector or USB port, etc.
• DO NOT touch the print head with your fingers.Use the optional print head cleaning

cassette (TZ-CL4), the self-cleaning function of the printer or a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton

swab) when cleaning the print head (refer to “Cleaning the Unit” on page 71).

• DO NOT clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.
• DO NOT place the P-touch in direct sunlight, near heaters or other hot appliances, in any

location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity, or dusty locations.

Standard operating temperature range: 50°F to 95°F.

• DO NOT leave any rubber or vinyl on the printer for an extended period of time, otherwise

the printer may be stained.

• Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some characters or

symbols may be difficult to read.

• Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the

mark.

• DO NOT pull or apply pressure to the tape in the cassette. Otherwise the tape cassette or

printer may be damaged.

• DO NOT try to print labels using an empty tape cassette or without a tape cassette set in

the P-touch. Doing so will damage the print head.

• DO NOT attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.
• It is recommended that you use the USB cable supplied with the P-touch. Should another

USB cable need to be used, ensure it is of high quality construction.

• Be careful not to scratch the CD-ROM. Do not place the CD-ROM in any location exposed

to high or low temperatures. Do not place heavy objects on the CD-ROM or bend it.

• The software on the CD-ROM is intended for use with the P-touch and may be installed

on more than one PC.

• We strongly recommend that you read this User’s Guide carefully before using your

P-touch, and then keep it nearby for future reference.

• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel

or become irremovable, the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other

objects. Before applying the label, check the environmental condition and the material.

• DO NOT expose the tape cassettes to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity,

or dust. Store tape cassettes in a cool, dark place. Use the tape cassettes soon after

opening the tape cassette package.

• Markings made with oil-based or water-based ink may be visible through a label affixed

over them. To hide the markings, use two labels layered on top of each other or use a dark-

coloured label.

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

batteries expire.

• When power is disconnected for more than two minutes, all text and format settings

will be cleared. Any text files stored in the memory and clock settings will also be

cleared.
