INTRODUCTION

With your PT-1280, you can create labels for any application. Select from the

many frames, character sizes and styles to design beautiful custom labels. In

addition, the variety of tape cartridges available allows you to print labels with

different widths and exciting colours.

Read this manual carefully before starting and keep the manual in a handy

place for future reference.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do

not have the

mark.

• Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use

a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not touch the print head mechanism. Use a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton

swab) when cleaning the print head.

• To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge.

• To prevent damage or breakage of the glass, do not press hard on the LCD

display.

• Do not put any foreign objects into or heavy objects on the machine.

• Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of

time, otherwise the machine may be stained.

• Do not get the machine wet, such as by touching with wet hands or spilling

beverages on to the machine.

• Do not expose the machine to extremely high temperatures or high

humidity. Never leave it on the dashboard, in the back of your car, near

heaters or other hot appliances. Keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.

• Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places.

• 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 try to print labels using an empty tape cassette set in the P-touch.

Doing so will damage the print head.

• Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend

to use the machine for an extended period of time. (Note: When 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 settings

will also be cleared.)

• Do not use old and new batteries together or mix alkaline batteries with

other type batteries, or set the positive and negative end in the wrong

position. Otherwise, the batteries may leak or be damaged.

• Use only the suggested AC adaptor for this machine to prevent any

damage or failure.
