TROUBLESHOOTING

OPERATING ISSUE

RECOMMENDATIONS

The screen "locks" or the 

printer does not respond 

normally. 

Refer to "Resetting the P-touch Labeler" above to reset the internal 

memory to the initial settings. If resetting the printer does not solve the 

problem, disconnect the AC adapter and remove the batteries for 

more than 10 minutes.

The display remains blank 

after turning on the power.

 

Check that the batteries are correctly installed and that the AC adapter 

designed exclusively for printer is correctly connected. Check that 

the rechargeable battery is fully charged. 

The LCD messages are 

displayed in a foreign 

language. 

Refer to "Setting Unit and Language" on page 4 to select desired 

language.

The label is not printed 

after pressing the Print key.

 Check that text has been entered and that the tape cassette in 

installed correctly with sufficient tape remaining. 

 If the tape is bent, cut off the bent section and thread the tape 

through the tape exit slot.

 If the tape is jammed, remove the tape cassette and then pull out 

the jammed tape and cut it. Check that the end of the tape passes 

through the tape guide before reinstalling the tape cassette.    

The label is not printed 

correctly.

Remove the tape cassette and reinstall it, pressing it firmly until it 

clicks into place.

If the printhead is dirty, clean it with a cotton swab or optional print 

head cleaning cassette (TZe-CL4). 

The ink ribbon is separated 

from the ink roller.

 

If the ink ribbon is broken, replace the tape 

cassette. If not, leave the tape uncut and 

remove the tape cassette; then, wind the loose 

ink ribbon onto the spool as shown. 

The printer stops while 

printing a label. 

Replace the tape cassette if striped tape is visible, as this indicates 

that you have reached the end of the tape. 

Replace all batteries or connect the AC adapter directly to the 

printer. 

Label files saved previously 

are now empty. 

All files stored in the internal memory are deleted if the batteries are 

weak or the AC adapter was disconnected. 

A tape jam which cannot 

be cleared keeps 

occurring.
