INTRODUCTION

With your P-touch 80, you can create labels for any application. Select from

the many frames, character sizes and styles to design beautiful custom la-

bels. In addition, the variety of tape cartridges available allows you to print la-

bels 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 M 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 LCD glass, do not press on the 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 handling it with wet hands or spilling

beverages on it.

• 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.

• Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some

characters or symbols may be difficult to read.

• Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch, otherwise the tape cassette

or P-touch 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 if you do not intend to use the machine for an extended period

of time. (Note: When no power is supplied for more than two minutes, all text and

format settings will be cleared. Language and clock settings will also be cleared.)

• Be sure to turn off the machine before replacing the batteries or the tape cassette.

• 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 have leakage or fracture.
