Frequently Asked Questions - P-Touch 2310 BROTHER

What kind of batteries does the Brother P-Touch 2310 use?

The printer uses eight AA alkaline batteries. Always replace all eight at the same time. An optional AC adaptor (model AD-60) is also available.

How do I change the tape cassette?

Lift the tape compartment cover, remove the old cassette by pulling it straight up, wind any slack in the ink ribbon using the toothed wheel, then insert the new cassette firmly until it clicks into place. Close the cover and press Code + Space to advance the tape.

What tape widths are compatible?

The P-Touch 2310 supports five tape widths: 1/4 in (6 mm), 3/8 in (9 mm), 1/2 in (12 mm), 3/4 in (18 mm), and 1 in (24 mm). Only Brother TZ tapes should be used.

How do I connect the P-Touch 2310 to a computer?

Use a standard USB cable (series A and B connectors). First install the P-touch Editor software from the CD-ROM, then connect the printer and turn it on. Follow the on-screen instructions for driver installation.

The display shows 'BATTERIES WEAK!'. What should I do?

Replace all eight AA alkaline batteries with new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor to continue printing. Weak batteries can cause poor print quality.

How can I clean the print head and rollers?

Turn off the printer, open the tape compartment, and remove the cassette. Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head and rollers. If streaks persist, moisten the swab with isopropyl alcohol and repeat. An optional head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4) is also available.

Can I print on fabric or make stamps?

Yes, with special tapes. Use fabric tape for iron-on labels. For stamps, insert a stamp film cassette and use the Stamp function (Code + U) to create a stencil, then attach it to a stamp holder (sold separately).

How do I print multiple copies of a label?

Use the Repeat Printing function: hold down Code and press _i, then select the number of copies (1-9) and press Enter. To print sequential numbers, use the Numbering function (Code + Number).

What is the maximum label length?

Labels can be up to 3' 3 1/3 in (1 meter) long. The Length function lets you set a fixed length between 1.6 in and 11.8 in (4 cm to 30 cm).

My printer has locked up and doesn't respond. How do I reset it?

Turn off the printer. While holding down Code and Align (R), turn the printer back on. This will erase all text and formats in the display and memory. If the problem persists, contact Brother service.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 2300/2310!

Your new P-touch will allow you to create labels and stamps for any need. Its versatility enables you to design custom labels by choosing from a variety of frame designs and from many characters sizes and styles. In addition, the five tape widths (1/4" (6 mm), 3/8" (9 mm), 1/2" (12 mm), 3/4" (18 mm) and 1" (24 mm)) and variety of tape colors allow you to print personalized labels, useful for color-coded filing.

You no longer have to worry about urgent tasks that require professional printing. In the office, the factory, the lab and the home, the quality and performance of the P-touch 2300/2310 makes it an extremely practical machine.

Finally, as you may want to refer to this User's Guide occasionally, we suggest that you keep it in a handy place.

(The PT-2300 and the PT-2310 models are equipped with the same functions; however, only the PT-2310 includes a carrying case and additional tape.)

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the mark.
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.
To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge.
Use only the AC adaptor (model AD-60) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adaptor will 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 eight AA alkaline batteries in this machine.

BATTERIES

This portable machine can be used anywhere by installing eight (8) AA alkaline batteries. When you change the batteries, always replace all eight 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.
③ Insert eight new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that their poles point in the correct direction.
4 Attach the battery compartment cover.

BROTHER P-Touch 2310 - To change the batteries: - 1

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.

OPTIONAL AC ADAPTOR

The AC adaptor (model AD-60) allows you to use this machine wherever there is an electrical outlet.

To connect the optional AC adaptor:

① Insert the plug on the adaptor cord into the connector marked DC IN 9.5V on the right side of the machine.
② Insert the plug on the adaptor into the nearest standard electrical outlet.

Only use the AC adaptor designed exclusively for this 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.

It is recommended that you use the AC adaptor when printing large fonts on 1" (24 mm)-wide tape since this operation can quickly drain the batteries.

TAPE CASSETTE

A single TZ tape cassette is supplied with this unit. However, since 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:

① Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released.
② If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.
③ If the ink ribbon in the other tape cassette 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.

⑤ Close the compartment cover, then turn on the machine if it is off.

6 Hold down Code and press Space once to advance the tape and remove any slack.

Barcodes

Keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor Version 3.1 to print barcodes.

Barcodes should be printed on white tape. If other colors of tape are used, the barcode reader may not be able to read the barcode correctly.
Be sure to test the barcode reader to make sure that it can read printed barcodes in the environment where you plan to use them. In some cases, the barcodes are not read correctly.
The QR Code protocol can only be used with English. If data in any other language is entered, the barcode may not be read correctly.

Databases

Keep the following points in mind when using the database functions of P-touch Editor Version 3.1.

For general details, refer to the User's Guide supplied on the P-touch Editor Version 3.1 CD-ROM.

The database function of P-touch Editor Version 3.1 (Windows version) uses database files that are compatible with Microsoft Access 97. By upgrading P-touch Editor Version 3.1 using a program available on the CD-ROM, P-touch Editor will become compatible with Access 2000. Refer to the Readme file located at English\Ptouch\Editor\Ac2k on the CD-ROM (the folder name for French is “Francais”), and start up the program.

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 °F (160 to 180 °C)) to press down firmly for 10 to 15 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cassette.

STAMP TAPE

Refer to pages 36 through 38 for a detailed explanation on using the stamp tape to make stamps.

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 blank 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.
② Open the tape compartment cover, 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.

4 Install a tape cassette, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing again.
⑤ If a blank streak still appears in the label, repeat steps ③ and ④ using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

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

Print head

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

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 as much as 300 characters can be stored in the memory. (A single text file can have a maximum of 99 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).

STORING TEXT

To store a text file:

① Hold down Code and press Store & 7. The message "STORE" appears on the display with the currently selected file number.

If 300 characters have 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 quit the Store function without storing the text, hold down Code and press &7 (or press just BS).

② Press a number key (or press ▲ or ▼) to select the file number where you wish to store the text.

3 Press ↻. The text is stored under the selected file number and the text previously shown in the display reappears.

If a file is already stored under the selected file number, the message "OVERWRITE?" appears in the display and you must decide whether or not to overwrite it (delete it from the memory and store the new one).

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 BS, and then select a different file number.

RECALLING TEXT

To recall a text file:

① Hold down Code and press *8. The message “RECALL” appears on the display with the file number and beginning of the most recently stored or recalled text.

To quit the Recall function without recalling text, hold down Code and press *8 (or press just BS).

2 Press a number key (or press ▲ or ▼ End) to select the file number containing the text that you wish to recall. The text stored under the selected file number is shown.

To see other parts of the selected text file, press ◀◀ or ▶▶.

To display the text stored under other file numbers, press ▲ or ▼ End, or the key of a different file number.

3 Press ⬇. Any text previously entered in the display is erased and the text stored under the selected file number is recalled into the display.

DELETING A FILE

To delete a text file:

1 Hold down Code and press M.Del 9. The message "CLEAR" appears on the display with the file number and beginning of the most recently stored or recalled text.

To cancel the Memory delete function without deleting the text file, hold down Code and press (or press just BS).

2 Press a number key (or press ▲ or ▼ End) to select the file number containing the text that you wish to delete. The text stored under the selected file number is shown.

To see other parts of the selected text file, press ◀ or ▶.

To display the text stored under other file numbers, press ▲ or ▼ End, or the key of a different file number.

③Press ⬇. The message "OK TO CLEAR?" appears.

To go back and select a different text file, press BS.
