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 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.

• 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 eight AA alkaline batteries or eight AA manganese batteries in this machine.

BATTERIES

This portable machine can be used anywhere by installing eight (8) AA alkaline batteries or

AA manganese batteries . When you change the batteries, always replace all eight at the same

time.

To change the batteries:

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the machine. If batteries are already installed, remove them. Insert eight new AA alkaline batteries or manganese, making sure that they face the cor-

rect direction.

Attach 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.

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.

☞

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 1” (24 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. 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.

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.

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 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 44 through 46 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. 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.

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 (rub-

bing) alcohol.

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

Length Undl/Frm

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 47 through 64.

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

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

☞

Five-line labels, such as this one, can only be printed on either 3/4” (18-mm) or 1” (24mm)-wide tape (see page 31).

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, Tab length, Mirror printing, and Length) to their default settings or just to erase the text.

SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS

The character size can be adjusted using both the Size and Width functions. Since the charac- ter 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

1” (24 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 indicators above the display. All of the size indicators light up when the AUTO setting is selected. In addition, when the ON width setting is selected, the Wide indicator lights up.

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 function (hold-

ing 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.

2 Press the key ( to ) of the file number where you wish to store the text. The text

is stored under the selected file number and the text previously shown in the display reappears.

☞

If a ﬁle is already stored under the selected ﬁle number, the message “OVERWRITE?” appears in the display and you must decide whether or not to overwrite it (delete it from the memory and store the new one).

To quit the Store function without storing the text, hold down and press

• 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.

• Utilize 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 el equipo 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 el equipo, 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.

• Este equipo utiliza, utilice ocho pilas alcalinas o de manganeso de tamaño AA.

PILAS

Este rotulador es portátil puede utilizarse en cualquier lugar instalando ocho (8) pilas alcalinas

o de manganeso de tamaño AA . Cuando cambie las pilas, reemplace siempre las ocho pilas al

mismo tiempo.

Para cambiar las pilas:

Extraiga la cubierta del compartimiento de las pilas de la parte posterior de la máquina. Si ya hay pilas instaladas, extráigalas. Inserte ocho pilas alcalinas AA nuevas o de manganeso, 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.

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 el conector del adaptador 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.

☞

Extraiga las pilas y desconecte el adaptador de CA si no se propone utilizar el equipo 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.

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 1” (24 mm) 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 cintas TZ de distintos colores y tamaños, es posible crear etiquetas diferentes codificadas por colores o tamaños.

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 den-

tada 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.

CABEZA DE IMPRESIÓN Y RODILLOS

De vez en cuando, el polvo se adhieren al cabezal de impresión y a los rodillos del el equipo. Suele suceder cuando se emplea la unidad en exteriores o en lugares con mucho polvo. Si alguna parte de la cabeza termica de impresión está cubierta de polvo, es posible que aparezca una franja horizontal blanca por el texto de la etiqueta.

Por lo tanto, al igual que con las grabadoras de cintas, la cabeza del equipo deberá limpiarse de vez en cuando.

Para limpiar el cabeza de impresión y los rodillos:

Desconecte la alimentación del equipo. Abra la cubierta del compartimiento de la cinta, extraiga el casete, si está dentro. La

cabeza de impresión y los rodillos están situados dentro del compartimiento de la cinta. Cabezal de impresión: Emplee un palillo con punta de algodón seco para frotar con cui-

dado la cabeza de impresión con movimiento hacia arriba y abajo. Rodillos: Emplee un palillo con punta de algodón seco para frotar cada rodillo con movimiento hacia arriba y abajo mientras los gira con el dedo.

Instale un casete de cinta, cierre la cubierta del compartimiento de la cinta, y después pruebe de nuevo la impresión.

Si todavía queda polvo, repita el paso 3 y 4 empleando un palillo con cabeza de algodón humedecido en alcohol isopropílico (limpieza).
