Notes on Use
Be sure that the printer is installed horizontally when you install it on a table.
Be sure to use the power switch to turn the printer on and off.
Do not unplug or plug in the AC adapter during printing.
To communicate with a computer via a serial cable, connect the cable before
turning on the printer.
To use the serial cable, it is recommended to secure it to avoid stress on it.
Be sure not to open the roll paper cover when the printer is operating.
Protect the printer from impact.
Do not apply excessive force to the printer case.
Do not place food or beverages such as coffee on the case of the printer.
For Bluetooth interface models, if you establish a radio connection between
the host computer and the printer each time you start printing instead of
maintaining the connection, it may take a while between the time you send a
print job and the time that the printer actually starts printing. This happens
because connecting the host computer and the printer requires some time.
The time required for connection depends on the operating environment.
For Bluetooth interface models, when the wireless connection is ended while
the printer is offline, reconnection may not be possible. In such case, remove
the cause of offline and reconnect it.

Installing or Replacing Roll Paper
CAUTION:
Be sure to use roll paper that meets the specifications.
Note:
Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued to the core.
1. Press the open button to open the roll paper cover and the peeler cover.
See illustration A on page 11.
2. Remove the used roll paper core if there is one.
(When using the label continuous issuing mode)
3. Fold the peeler holder under the peeler cover. This covers the label peeler
detector. See illustration B.
(When using the label peeler issuing mode)
3. Peel off the first label, and press the peeler change over lever to lift the peeler
holder.
(When installing the label paper horizontally)
4. Set the new roll paper on the inside of the roll paper cover.
Note:
Note the direction the paper comes off the roll. See illustration
(When installing the label paper vertically)
4. Set the new roll paper in the inside of the roll paper cover. See c in
illustration D.
Note:
Be sure that the roll paper side is on the bottom when you install the printer
vertically.
5. Pull the leading edge of the roll paper. See d in illustration
6. Align the left edge of the roll paper with the edge of the cover. See e in
illustration
Note:
Note the direction the paper comes off the roll.
7. Pull the leading edge of the roll paper. See illustration
8. Close the roll paper cover.
9. Close the peeler cover.
Note:
Removing the issued label enables the label peeler detector to detect a paper end and the
printer to issue the next label.
If the first label is not removed when using the label peeler issuing mode, the thickness of
the label and the backing paper overloads the peeler holder, possibly stopping the paper feed
motor.
When closing the peeler cover, make sure to close it firmly, pressing both ends.
See illustration
When tearing the backing paper, pull it in the direction of the arrow shown in the
illustration
paper jam.
When the label is completely fed to the peeling position, the printer goes in the label
removal waiting state, so remove the label.
When the label peeler detector detects the paper at the power on, the printer goes in the
label removal waiting state and the ERROR LED comes on. Be sure to remove the label
before powering off the printer. Otherwise, the printer goes into the label removal waiting
state when it is powered on again.

Troubleshooting
No lights on the control panel
Check that the battery is installed.
ERROR LED is flashing or on
The printer temperature may be too high. The printer resumes printing
automatically when the temperature returns to normal.
Make sure that the roll paper cover is properly closed.
Make sure that roll paper is installed.
When the printer power is on, if the ERROR LED and the BATT. LED are on,
the remaining battery charge is not enough for printer operation. The battery
must be fully charged.
When the battery is being charged, if the ERROR LED is on, an abnormality
has occurred. The battery must be replaced with a new one.
Turn off the power, wait several seconds, and then turn it on again. If the
error remains, contact a qualified service person.
In the label peeler issuing mode, the ERROR LED may flash when a label
blocks the label peeler detector. In this case, remove the label. If you cannot
remove the label, reload the label roll paper or press the FEED button for
more than 1 second to execute a forced paper feed.
Cleaning the Thermal Head
After printing, the thermal head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it and
to let it cool before you clean it. Do not damage the thermal head by touching
it with your fingers or any hard object.
Turn off the printer, open the peeler cover and the roll paper cover, and clean the
thermal elements of the thermal head with a cotton swab moistened with an
alcohol solvent (ethanol or IPA). See the illustration below.
EPSON recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 3
months) to maintain print quality.
CAUTION:

Cleaning the Platen Roller/Roll Paper End Sensor
When paper dust accumulates on the platen rollers or the roll paper end sensor,
follow the steps below to clean them. To maintain good functional capabilities,
clean them regularly (every 6 months).
1. Turn off the printer, open the peeler cover, and then the roll paper cover.
2. Clean the platen roller with a cotton swab lightly moistened with water or
alcohol.
3. Blow the paper dust accumulated around the roll paper end sensor with a
blower or a straw.
CAUTION:
Do not wipe the roll paper end sensor with water or alcohol. Its functional
capabilities may be affected.
English
4. Close the roll paper cover after the water or alcohol has dried.
Cleaning the Peeler Unit
After the peeler is used for a prolonged period of time, the glue from the labels
accumulates on the rollers of the peeler unit. If you leave the rollers in such a
condition, the glue may stick to issued labels, or a paper jam may occur. To
prevent malfunctions and maintain good print quality, clean the rollers regularly
(every 20,000 labels).
TM-P60 with Peeler User’s Manual 13
English
You can clean them easily if you use a wasted label, as shown in the lower right
illustration.
Note:
Do not use any alcohol based solvents for cleaning. Such solvents may enter the roller shaft
and cause a malfunction of the peeler.
Roller
Using Different Paper Widths
6 paper widths from 29.5 mm to 57.5 mm are available by using the roll paper
guide. If you remove the roll paper guide, you can also select 59.5 mm.
1. Press the button and open the peeler holder and the roll paper cover.
2. Remove the roll paper if there is one.
3. Insert your finger into the hole of the roll paper guide and lift it upward.
Undo the top part that is fixed in one of the slots.
Roll paper guide
4. Move the roll paper guide to the position matching the width of the paper
you are using.
5. Insert the top of the roll paper guide and press it down until it clicks.
6. Insert the roll paper. See “Installing Roll Paper” for detailed information.
Note:
Do not increase the paper width after you have used a narrower width because if the
printer has ever been used with narrow paper, part of the head contacts the platen.
Therefore, when a wider setting is used, part of the head may be worn out, which can cause
poor printing.
