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, otherwise the tape cassette
may be damaged.
• Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.
• Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry
cloth.
• Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the
machine for an extended period of time.
Note:
If power is disconnected for more than three minutes, all text shown in the
display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost. Language and unit

leave it on the dashboard or in the back of your car.
• Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places. Keep it out of both direct sunlight
and rain.
• Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time,
otherwise the machine may be stained.
• Do not touch the print head mechanism. If the head is touched, clean it immediately
with a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) to avoid permanent damage.
• To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge.
• Use only the AC adapter designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any
other adapter may damage the machine and such damages will not be covered
under warranty.
• Please contact your Brother dealer for details.
• If the cutter blade becomes blunt after repetitive use and the tape can not be cut
cleanly, replace with new cutter unit (stock no. TC-5) by obtaining from an
authorized brother dealer.
• Be sure to use scissors to cut the fabric tapes. The built-in cutter cannot
completely cut the fabric tapes.
