What to do when
Problem Solution
The display

turned on
the P-touch
labeling
system. • Check that the batteries are
correctly installed. Refer to the
Installing Power Supply and
Tape Cassette
section.
• The batteries may be weak.
Replace them.
• Check that the AD24 Adapter is
correctly connected.
When the
label is
printed,
there is too
much
margin
(space) on
both sides
of the text.
• Refer to the Setting Margins
section in this guide and select
[
Half
] , [
Narrow
] or [
Chain
Print
] to have smaller margins for
your tape.
The P-touch
labeling
system
does not
print, or the
printed
characters
are not
formed
properly.
• Check that the cassette is inserted
correctly.
• If the cassette is empty, replace it.
• Check that the Tape Cassette
Cover is closed correctly.
The setting
has cleared
on its own. • The batteries may be weak.
Replace them.
• When power is disconnected for
more than three minutes, all text
and formats in the display settings
are cleared.
A blank
horizontal
line appears
through the
printed
tape. • There may be some dust on the
Print Head. Remove the cassette
and use a dry cotton swab to gently
wipe the Print Head with an up-and-
down motion. Refer to the
Installing Power Supply and
Tape Cassette
section in this guide
for the Print Head location.
Problem Solution
