General Precautions
●
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 to the machine.
●
Do not put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector, etc.
●
Do not touch the print head with your fingers. Use a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab)
when cleaning the print head or the optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4)
when cleaning the print head.
●
Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft,
dry cloth.
●
Do not place the P-touch/battery in direct sunlight or rain, near heaters or other hot
appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures (e.g. on
the dashboard or in the back of your car), high humidity, or dusty locations.
Standard operating temperature range: 10°C to 35°C.
●
Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time,
otherwise the machine 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 P-touch may be damaged.
●
Make sure that the release lever is up when closing the back cover. The back cover
cannot be closed if the release lever is pressed down.
●
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 tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.
●
We strongly recommend that you read this User's Guide carefully before using
your P-touch, and then keep it nearby for future reference.
