Quick Reference

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 1500PC!

With your new Brother label printer, you can print personalized labels for any purpose. Simply insert a label cassette into the PT-1500PC, design your label with the enclosed P-touch label-designing software, and then print it out. Your customized label prints out in seconds. Label tape cassettes are available in various sizes and colors—ideal for color-coded labeling or any other special labeling needs.

Two label-designing applications are available on the enclosed CD-ROM. The easy-to-use P-touch Quick Editor software allows text to be entered and formatted quickly so that simple labels can be printed instantly. The more advanced P-touch Editor Ver. 3.1 application not only automates complex layout functions, but it also includes a variety of pre-formatted templates for immediate use.

Inserting a photo into the photo frame

A photo can be inserted into the photo frame attached to the PT-1500PC, turning it into a decorative addition to your workspace.

- By removing the photo frame from the PT-1500PC

① Remove the photo frame from the PT-1500PC by carefully pulling off the frame, grabbing it from the back of the PT-1500PC as shown.

Be careful that the tape compartment cover is not opened when removing the photo frame.

② Remove the cardboard backing and the clear protective sheet from the photo frame.

③ Stack the clear protective sheet, the photo, and the cardboard backing in that order, facing down.

4 Insert one end of the stack under the two tabs on one side of the frame, and then insert the stack under the two tabs on the other side of the frame.

Tape cassettes

- Do not pull on the tape being fed from the machine, otherwise the tape cassette may be damaged.

- If the label is attached to a wet or dirty surface, it may easily peel off. Before affixing the label, clean the surface where it will be attached.

- Depending on the environmental conditions and the material, condition, roughness, and shape of the affixing surface, the label may move out of place or peel off. In order to test the label's adhesive strength or before using this label where safety is a particular concern, test the label by affixing a small piece of it to a hidden area of the intended surface.

- Sunlight, wind and rain may cause the color of the label to fade or the label to peel off.

- Markings made with oil-based or water-based ink may be visible through a label affixed over them. To hide the markings, use two labels layered on top of each other, or use tape with a dark background.

- This tape may not be adequate in cases where liabilities may result due to damage or injuries.

Changing the tape cassette

① Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released.

Be careful that the photo frame does not fall off when the tape compartment cover is opened.

② If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.

③ 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 guide.

If you are inserting 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 ink ribbon does not catch on the corner of the metal guide.

⑤ Securely close the tape compartment cover by pressing down on the textured area of the cover near the tape exit slot.
