Problem
Solution
After exiting P-touch Editor
Lite, how do I restart the
program while the P-touch
is still on?
There are three ways to restart. Perform any of the following.
• Turn off the P-touch and then turn it back on.
• Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable while the
P-touch is on.
• (For Windows
®
)
Launch P-touch Editor Lite from [
My Computer
].
I cannot turn the P-touch on.
Check to see that the batteries are installed correctly, or that
the included power adapter is securely connected.
I cannot exit P-touch Editor
Lite.
Check to see if an error message is displayed, and try to
resolve it. Please note that the software cannot be exited while
labels are being printed.
A blank horizontal line
appears through the printed
label.
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed labels generally
indicate that the print head is dirty. Clean the print head using
a cotton swab or optional print head cleaning cassette
(TZe-CL4).
* Do not touch the print head directly with your bare hands.
The label is difficult to cut.
Clean the cutter blade using a cotton swab moistened with
alcohol.
* Do not touch the cutter blade directly with your bare hands.
When the label is printed out,
there is too much margin
(space) on both sides of
the text.
When margins are set to [
Large
], labels print with approx.
25 mm margins on each side of the printed text. Reduce this
margin by changing the setting to [
Small
].
On P-touch Editor Lite, right-click the mouse and select
[
Margins
] from the displayed menu. Change the setting
to [
Small
].
The P-touch does not print,
or the printed characters are
not formed properly.
• Check that the tape cassette has been inserted correctly.
• If the tape cassette is empty, replace it.
• Check the cassette cover is properly closed.
The power turns off when you
try to print.
• The batteries may be weak. Replace them.
• Check that the batteries are correctly inserted.
• An incorrect adaptor is being used; the recommended
adapter is the AD-E001.
The tape does not feed
properly, or the tape gets
stuck inside the P-touch.
• Check that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.
• The Feed & Cut button was used while printing. Do not touch
the Feed & Cut button during printing.
I want to reset the P-touch.
With the P-touch off, press and hold the Feed & Cut button
while holding down the Power button. When the Editor Lite
lamp starts flashing and the Status lamp lights orange, press
the Feed & Cut button six times while continuing to hold down
the Power button. The P-touch will be reset to the factory
settings.
