GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge.
• Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine to avoid damage. Do not use tapes that do not have the Mark. Brother cannot be held responsible for trouble or damage by the use of unauthorized supplies.
• Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch. This may damage the tape cassette.
• Do not use the machine in dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.
• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures or high humidity. Never leave it on the dashboard or in the back of your car.
• Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause staining.
• Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use a soft, dry cloth only.
• Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine.
• Use only the AC adaptor (model AD-24) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adaptor may void the warranty.
• Do not try to disassemble the AC adaptor.
• When the machine is not being used for a long period of time and it is not necessary to keep the text files stored in the memory, disconnect the AC adaptor, and remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking and damaging the machine.
• When the AC adaptor is connected, unplugging the adaptor from the electrical outlet before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text files in the memory, even if batteries are installed.
  Use six AA alkaline batteries in this machine.
• If the batteries are not installed with their positive and negative poles pointing in the correct direction, the batteries may leak, overheat or burst, or the print head may overheat.

BATTERIES

This portable machine can be used anywhere by installing six (6) AA alkaline batteries. When you change the batteries, always replace all six at the same time.

To change the batteries:

1 Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the machine.
2 If batteries are already installed, remove them.
Insert six new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that their poles point in the correct direction.
4 Attach the battery compartment cover.

Be sure to insert the new batteries within five minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise the text shown in the display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an AC outlet with the AC adaptor).

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend to use this machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost.

If the batteries are not installed with their positive and negative poles pointing in the correct direction, the batteries may leak, overheat or burst, or the print head may overheat.

AC ADAPTOR

The AC adaptor (model AD-24) allows you to use this machine wherever there is an electrical outlet.

To connect the AC adaptor:

Insert the plug on the adaptor cord into the connector marked DC IN 9-9.5V on the right side of the machine.
Insert the plug on the adaptor into the nearest standard electrical outlet.

Only use the AC adaptor designed exclusively for this machine.

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend to use this machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost.

When the AC adaptor is connected, unplugging the adaptor from the electrical outlet before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text files in the memory, even if batteries are installed.

TAPE CASSETTE

TZ tape cassettes are available for this machine in a wide variety of colors and sizes. It is possible to make distinctive color-coded and stylized labels.

In addition, this machine has been designed to allow you to change the tape cassettes quickly and easily.

To change the tape cassette:

Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released.
If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.
If the ink ribbon in the tape cassette to be installed is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the ribbon. Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.

If you are using a new tape cassette provided with a stopper, be sure to remove the stopper.

4 Insert the tape cassette firmly into the tape compartment, making sure that the entire back of the cassette touches the bottom of the compartment.
When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on the corner of the metal guide.
Close the compartment cover, and then turn on the machine, if it is off.
Hold down Code and press Feed&Cut once to advance the tape and remove any slack.

This machine does not support stamp tapes (SK-MB/SH-MB).

ATTACHING LABELS

LAMINATED TAPE

The enclosed stick enables you to easily remove the backing from labels printed on laminated tapes.

Hold the tape in your left hand, with the printed surface facing up, and hold the stick in your right hand.
Pass the tape halfway through the long narrow hole in the stick.
③ Turn the stick three-quarters of a turn towards you and pull the stick away from you as shown below.
Peel off the label backing.

Some tapes can be folded in half so that the inside edges of the two backing pieces come off the label, enabling the backing to be peeled off easily.

FABRIC TAPE

Fabric tape is used to attach a piece of fabric printed with your text onto garments using an iron. After printing the text onto fabric tape and cutting off the label using scissors, place the label on an ironed garment at the location where you wish to attach it in such a way that the printed text can be read correctly. Cover the label with another piece of cloth and use an iron set to a medium-high temperature (320 to 356^ (160 to 180^ ) to press down firmly for 15 to 30 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cassette.

Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machine's print head and rollers. This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very dusty environment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a white horizontal streak may appear through the label text. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the machine's head may need to be cleaned from time to time.

To clean the print head and rollers:

1Turn off the machine. Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor.
Open the tape compartment cover, and then remove the tape cassette if one is installed. The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment.
③Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-and-down motion.

Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion while rotating them with your finger.

Install a tape cassette, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing again.
If a blank streak still appears in the label, repeat steps 1 to 4.

If none of the above works, contact your service representative.

The print head can be cleaned more easily if the optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4) is used.

USING WITH A PERSONAL COMPUTER

MEMORY FUNCTIONS

You can use the Memory to store your most frequently used text files. The text remains in the memory, along with its formatting, even after all characters are removed from the display using the Clear function (holding down Code and pressing BS).

When each file is stored, it is given a number to make recalling it easier. Up to 10 text files or approximately 300 characters can be stored in the memory. (A single text file can have a maximum of 91 characters.)

Since a copy of the stored text file is recalled when the Recall function is used, the text can be edited or printed without changing the originally stored file. When a file is no longer needed or more space is necessary, the Memory delete function can be used to delete it.

When inserting new batteries, be sure to insert the new ones within five minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise any text files stored in the memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an electrical outlet with the AC adaptor).

If the maximum number of characters has already been stored, the error message "MEMORY FULL!" appears in the display. If this occurs, an existing text file must be deleted before the new one can be stored.

To overwrite the stored file with the new one:

• Press to delete the previously stored file and store the new one under the selected number.

To go back and choose another file number without overwriting the text file, press Clear, and then select a different file number.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Remedy
1. The display stays blank after you have turned on the machine.	Check that the AC adaptor is connected correctly. If you are using alkaline batteries, check that they are correctly inserted. If the batteries are low, replace them with new ones.
2. The machine does not print or the printed characters are blurred.	Check that the tape cassette has been inserted properly. If the tape cassette is empty, replace it with a new one. Make sure that the tape compartment cover has been closed.
3. The text files that you stored in the memory are no longer there.	If the batteries are low, replace them with new ones.
4. The printed characters are not formed properly.	If you are using alkaline batteries, they may be low. Try using the AC adaptor or replace the batteries with new ones.
5. A blank horizontal line appears through the printed label.	Clean the print head as explained on page 7.
6. Striped tape appears. • You have reached the end of the tape. Replace the tape cassette with a new one.
7. The machine has “locked up” (i.e., nothing happens when a key is pressed).	Turn off the machine, and then while holding down Code and R, turn the machine back on. The text and formats in the display and all text files stored in the memory are erased.
