INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 1900/1910!

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 character 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.

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 1900/1910 makes it an extremely practical machine.

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

(The PT-1900 and the PT-1910 models are equipped with the same functions; however, the PT-1910 includes a carrying case and additional tape.)

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

●To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter’s edge.

●Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine to avoid damage. Do not use tapes that do

not have the mark. Brother cannot be held responsible for trouble or damage by the use of unauthorized supplies.

●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.

●Use only the AC adaptor (model AD-60) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adaptor may 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.

●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.

BATTERIES

This portable machine can be used anywhere by installing six (6) AA alkaline batteries. When you change the batteries, always replace all six at the same time.

To change the batteries:

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

2If batteries are already installed, remove them.

3Insert six new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that their poles point in the correct direction.

4Attach the battery compartment cover.

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:

1Insert the plug on the adaptor cord into the connector marked DC IN 9.5V on the right side of the machine.

2Insert 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.

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:

1Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released.

2If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.

3If the ink ribbon in the tape cassette to be installed 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.

4Insert 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.

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

6Hold down c and press _ once to advance the tape and remove any slack.

ATTACHING LABELS

LAMINATED TAPE

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

1Hold the tape in your left hand, with the printed surface facing up, and hold the stick in your right hand.

2Pass the tape halfway through the long narrow hole in the stick.

3Turn the stick three-quarters of a turn towards you and pull the stick away from you as shown below.

4Peel 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)) and press down firmly for 15 to 30 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cassette.

STAMP TAPE

Refer to pages 23 through 25 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 black 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.

2Open the tape compartment cover, and 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.

4Install a tape cassette, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing again.

5If a black 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.

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

For Your Information

POWER KEY

The Power key ( o ) is located in the lower-right corner of the keyboard. If batteries have been installed or the machine has been plugged in using the optional AC adaptor, the previous session’s information is displayed when the machine is turned on. This feature allows you to stop work on a label, turn off the machine, and return to it later without having to re-enter the text.

DELETE KEY

The Delete (backspace) key ( * ) allows you to remove characters to the left of the cursor’s current position. It differs from the left cursor key ( f ), which only moves the cursor with-

out deleting any characters.

The delete key can also be used to quit most functions and return to the previous display without changing the text.

Some questions asking you to confirm a command may appear on the LCD display, especially when the function that you have chosen will delete or affect files. In these cases, pressing *

is like answering “no”.
