USER’S GUIDE

• Read this User’s Guide before you start using your P-touch.

• Keep this User’s Guide in a handy place for future reference.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 1800/1810! 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 four tape widths (1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm), 1/2” (12 mm), and 3/4” (18 mm)) and variety of tape colors allow you to print personalized labels, useful for color-coded filing. With the Stamp function, you can quickly and easily make stamps for reusable pre-inked stamp holders.

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 1800/1810 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-1800 and the PT-1810 models are equipped with the same functions; however, only the PT-1810 is available with a carrying case.)

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 cas-

sette.

• 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 six AA alkaline batteries in this machine.

BATTERIES

This lightweight and portable machine can be used anywhere by installing six (6) AA

alkaline batteries

time.

To change the batteries:

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the machine.

If batteries are already installed, remove them.

Insert six new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that they face the correct direction.

Attach the battery compartment cover.

☞

. When you change the batteries, always replace all six at the same

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 alkaline batteries are not used, large fonts cannot be printed.

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:

Insert the plug on the adaptor cord into the connector marked DC IN 9.5V on the right side of the machine.

Insert the plug on the adaptor into the nearest standard electrical outlet.

☞

Only use the AC adaptor designed exclusively for this machine. 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.

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 3/4

″

(18-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:

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

1 2

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

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.

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.

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

Hold down and press once to advance the tape and remove any

slack.

Push down on the tape cutter lever to cut off any excess tape.

ATTACHING LABELS

LAMINATED TAPE

The enclosed stick enables you to easily remove the backing from labels printed on laminated tapes.

Hold the tape in your left hand, with the printed surface facing up, and hold the stick in your right hand.

Pass the tape halfway through the long narrow hole in the stick. Turn the stick three-quarters of a turn towards you and pull the stick away from you

as shown below.

Peel off the label backing.

ABCDEF

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 45 through 48 for a detailed explanation on using the stamp tape to make stamps.

PRINT HEAD & ROLLERS

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:

Turn 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.

3 Print 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 dust still remains, repeat steps 3 and 4 using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl

(rubbing) alcohol.

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

To turn on the machine:

1 Press in the top right-

hand corner of the keyboard.

Length Underline Frame

The underline in the LCD display is called the “cursor”. It is like a pointer which shows your current position and lets you select characters in your text.

The text you create may sometimes be longer than the 11 characters that the LCD display can show at one time. Therefore, the cursor can be moved to show other parts of the text.

Pressing the left cursor key ( ) moves the cursor to the left so that the left side of the text can be seen and pressing the right cursor key ( ) moves the cursor to the right

so that the right side of the text can be seen. Some format settings are shown by the triangular and square indicators around the edge

of the display. The default settings (the selected settings when the power is turned on for the very first time) have been pre-programmed into the machine and represent the most common settings for labels. However, you can design your own label to have any format that you wish. Detailed explanations of the formats can be found on pages 64 through 66.

Now, let’s enter the text for our first example, the simple door label shown below.

☞

The label in this example was made using the enclosed 1/2″ (12-mm)-wide tape.

ENTERING THE TEXT

Since all of the text will be in capital letters, we will use the Caps mode, which allows us to type capital letters continuously without holding down .

ADDRESS LABEL EXAMPLE

While making the multi-line address label in this example, we will learn how to create more decorative labels using the various format settings.

☞

Three-line labels, such as this address label, can only be printed on either 1/2” (12-mm)- or 3/4” (18-mm)-wide tape.

Before entering the new text, we must first erase the text shown in the display from the previous time that the machine was used. When clearing the display, we can choose whether to erase all of the text and return all format functions (Font, Size, Width, Style, Underline, Frame, Tape margin, Alignment, and Length) to their default settings or just to erase the text.

To erase all of the text and reset the format functions:

FORMATTING THE TEXT

Now the text has been entered entered as we wish. If it were printed, the standard default settings would be used. The text would be aligned on the left side with 1″ (25 mm) margins and would not be framed or underlined. In addition, the characters would be autosized (Auto) and printed using the HELSINKI font (Font1) and NORMAL style settings. For more details concerning format settings, please see pages 56 and 73.

For this label, though, let’s assume we want a different style of text: BRUSSELS font (Font2), framed, and printed with NARROW (1/6” (4 mm)) tape margins. Therefore, we must change the format.

SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS

The character size can be adjusted using both the Size and Width functions. Since the character size that can be used depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the character sizes that can be used with each tape width.

Tape widths Sizes (in points)

1/4” (6 mm) 6, 9, 12

3/8” (9 mm) 6, 9, 12, 18 1/2” (12 mm) 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 3/4” (18 mm) 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36

The default size setting is AUTO and the default width setting is OFF. The currently selected size setting is always shown by the indicator above the display.

With the AUTO size setting, the machine compares your text with the width of the installed tape and automatically adjusts the characters to the largest possible size. However, six other point sizes are also available and each can be printed in wide characters.

MEMORY FUNCTIONS

You can use the memory to store your most frequently used text files. The text remains in the memory, even after all characters are removed from the display using the Clear func-

tion (holding down and pressing ). When each file is stored, it is given a number to make recalling it easier. Up to 9 text files

or about 300 characters can be stored in the memory. Each stored 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 and press . The message “STORE SELECT 1–9?” appears

on the display.

☞

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.

INSTRUCCIONES

INTRODUCCIÓN

Gracias por adquirir una P-Touch 1800. Su nueva P-Touch le permitirá diseñar y crear etiquetas y membretes para cualquier tipo

de aplicación. Su versatilidad le permitirá crear etiquetas personales seleccionando distintos diseños de marcos y muchos tamaños y estilos de caracteres. Además, los cuatro diferentes anchos de cinta (1/4 ″ (6 mm), 3/8 ″ (9 mm), 1/2 ″ (12 mm), 3/4 ″ (18 mm) y 1 ″ (24 mm)) y la variedad de los colores de la cintas le hará posible imprimir etiquetas personales, útiles para relleno con código de colores. Con la función de membretes, podrá hacer membretes con facilidad y rapidez para soportes de membretes entintados reutilizables.

Ya no hay por qué preocuparse por tareas urgentes que requieren impresión profesional. En la oficina, la fábrica, el laboratorio, o en casa, la calidad y el rendimiento de la PTouch 330/350 la convierten en una máquina muy práctica.

Para terminar, puesto que esta guía del usuario le será de gran utilidad, le aconsejamos que la guarde en un lugar accesible para poder consultar en cualquier momento.

(Los modelos PT-1800 y PT-1810 disponen de las mismas funciones. Sin embargo, solamente el modelo PT-1810 dispone de estuche de transporte.)

PRECAUCIONES GENERALES

• Con esta máquina emplee sólo cintas TZ Brother. No emplee cintas que no tengan la marca .

• No tire de la cinta que se alimenta desde la P-Touch. Podría dañar el casete de cinta.

• No utilice la máquina en lugares polvorientos, y manténgala alejada de la luz solar directa y la lluvvia.

• No exponga la máquina a altas temperaturas ni humedad. No la deje nunca en el tablero de instrumentos ni en la parte trasera de su automóvil.

• No deje nada que sea de goma o vinilo encima de la máquina durante períodos prolongados. Podría producir manchas.

• No limpie la máquina con alcohol ni con otros solventes orgánicos. Emplee solamente un paño suave y seco.

• No ponga ningún objeto encima ni dentro de la máquina.

• Para evitar daños, no toque el borde de la cuchilla.

• Cuando inserte pilas nuevas, asegúrese de hacerlo antes de que transcurran cinco minutos desde el momento en que extrae las pilas gastadas, porque de lo contrario se perderían todos los archivos de texto (a menos que la máquina esté enchufada a una toma de CA con el adaptador de CA).

• Emplee sólo el adaptador de CA (modelo AD-60) exclusivamente diseñado para esta máquina. El empleo de otro cancelaría la garantía.

• No intente desmontar el adaptador de CA.

• Cuando la máquina no se utilice durante períodos prolongados de tiempo y no sea necesario conservar los archivos de texto en la memoria, desenchufe el adaptador de CA, y saque las pilas para evitar fugas de las mismas que podrían ser causa de daños en la máquina.

• Cuando el adaptador de CA esté enchufado en la máquina, si se desenchufa el adaptador de la toma de CA se correrá el riesgo de perder todos los archivos de texto de la memoria, aunque las pilas estén insertadas.

• En esta máquina, emplee seis pilas alcalinas del tamaño AA.

PILAS

Esta máquina ligera y portátil puede utilizarse en cualquier lugar instalando seis (6) pilas

alcalinas AA

Para cambiar las pilas:

. Cuando cambie las pilas, reemplace siempre las seis pilas al mismo tiempo.

Extraiga la cubierta del compartimiento de las pilas de la parte posterior de la máquina.

Si ya hay pilas instaladas, extráigalas. Inserte seis pilas alcalinas AA nuevas, asegurándose de que quedan orientadas en la

dirección correcta. Coloque la cubierta del compartimiento de las pilas.

☞

Asegúrese de insertar las pilas nuevas antes de que transcurran cinco minutos desde que se extraen las pilas gastadas, porque de lo contrario el texto que se visualiza en la pantalla y los archivos de texto almacenados en la memoria se perderían (a menos que la máquina esté enchufada a una toma de CA con el adaptador de CA).

Extraiga las pilas y desconecte el adaptador de CA si no se propone utilizar la máquina durante períodos de tiempo prolongados. Cuando se desconecta la alimentación, se pierden el texto que se muestra en la pantalla y el que está almacenado en la memoria.

Si no se emplean pilas alcalinas, no podrán imprimirse tipos de caracteres grandes.

ADAPTADOR DE CA OPCIONAL

El adaptador de CA (modelo AD-60) le permite emplear esta máquina siempre que disponga de una toma de corriente eléctrica.

Para conectar el adaptador de CA opcional:

Inserte la clavija del adaptador en el conector que tiene la marca DC IN 9.5V al lado derecho de la máquina.

Inserte la clavija del adaptador de CA en la toma de corriente más cercana.

☞

Emplee sólo el adaptador de CA diseñado exclusivamente para esta máquina.

Cuando el adaptador de CA esté enchufado en la máquina, si se desenchufa el adaptador de la toma de CA se correrá el riesgo de perder todos los archivos de texto de la memoria, aunque las pilas estén insertadas.

Se recomienda emplear el adaptador de CA para imprimir tipos de caracteres grandes y códigos de barras con cintas de 18 mm (3/4”) porque esta operaciónes pueden gastar las pilas con rapidez.

CASETES DE CINTA

Un casete de TZ se suministra con la unidad. Sin embargo, para esta máquina hay disponibles una amplia gama de casetes de cinta TZ de distintos colores y tamaños, es posible crear etiquetas diferentes codificadas por colores o tamaños.

Para cambiar el casete de cinta:

Levante la cubierta del compartimiento de la cinta para abrirla. Se libera también entonces el casete instalado.

Si ya hay un casete instalado, extráigalo tirando del mismo recto hacia arriba.

Si la cinta entintadora del otro casete se afloja, utilice un dedo para bobinar la rueda dentada en el sentido de la flecha de dicho casete hasta tensar la cinta. Además, cerciórese de que el extremo de la cinta esté debajo de las guías de la misma.

☞

Si está utilizando un casete de cinta nuevo provisto de retén, cerciórese de extraer éste.

Inserte firmemente el casete de cinta en el compartimiento de la cinta asegurándose de que toda la parte posterior del casete está en contacto con la inferior del compartimiento.

☞

Cuando inserte el casete de cinta, asegúrese de que la cinta interior no esté enganchada en la esquina de la guía metálica.

Cierre la cubierta del compartimiento y conecte la alimentación de la máquina si estaba desconectada.
