MAINTAINING YOUR P-touch
You can reset the internal memory of your P-touch when you want to clear all saved
label files, or in the event the P-touch is not behaving normally.
With the power turned off, hold down the and keys and press the key.
The P-touch turns on with the internal memory reset.
Your P-touch should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance and life
span. We recommend that you clean it at least once every month.
Cleaning the Main 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 in printed labels
generally indicates that the print head is dirty. Clean
the print head using a cotton swab or optional print
head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4).
