Getting Started
Ironing
Iron garments with transfers using normal tem-
perature settings.
Be sure to place a piece of cloth between the
iron and the label when you iron over it to pre-
vent the label from sticking to the iron.
The labels are non-toxic, however, please main-
tain the usual precautions, such as not placing
them in your mouth, etc.
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
15 to 30 seconds. For more details, refer to the
instructions included with the fabric tape cas-
sette.
Assembling stamps
In addition to labels, your P-touch can be used
to make custom, pre-inked stamps for various
uses (optional stamp kit required). Simply design
your own customized stamps using one of the
pre-formatted stamp templates, and then affix
the printed stamp stencil to a self-inking stamp
film holder.
1 Install a stamp film cassette, and then for-
mat the stamp text in either of the following
ways:
a) Select a pre-formatted stamp template
from those available with the Auto For-
mat function (refer to page 66).
b) Type in text, and then set the Stamp func-
tion to ON (refer to page 65).
3 Print out the stamp stencil and remove its
backing paper.
4 Remove the frame from around the stamp
holder ink pad, one end at a time, and then
remove the protective seal covering the ink
pad.
5 With the glossy side of the stamp film facing
up, align one end of the stamp film with the
slit in the side of the stamp holder.

NOTE
If an Auto Format stamp template is used, it is not
necessary to set the Stamp function to ON.
NOTE
If the stamp holder already contains a stamp
film, hold the stamp over a piece of scrap paper
and remove the stamp frame by pulling it off,
one end at a time. Then, slowly peel off the
stamp film. Be careful that the ink does not
splatter.
Keep the stamp film holder out of the reach of
children.
Avoid getting ink in your eyes or mouth. If ink
gets in your eyes or mouth, immediately wash it
with fresh water for several minutes and consult
a doctor.
Keep ink off skin, clothes and important papers.
Immediately use soap to wash skin that has
come in contact with ink. Even washing may
not remove all ink.
