DO NOT expose the tape cassettes to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or
dust. Store tape cassettes in a cool, dark place. Use the tape cassettes soon after opening
the tape cassette package.
Markings made with oil-based or water-based ink may be visible through a label affixed
over them. To hide the markings, use two labels layered on top of each other or use a dark-
colored label.
Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure or repair of the P-touch labeling
system, or if the battery expires.
When power is disconnected for more than two minutes, all text and format settings will be
cleared. Any text files stored in the memory will also be cleared.
A protective clear plastic sticker is placed over the display during manufacturing and
shipping. This sticker should be removed prior to use.
The length of the printed label may differ from the displayed label length.
You can also use Heat Shrink Tube in this model.
Check the Brother website (http://www.brother.com/
) for further information. You cannot
print frame, templates pre-set in the P-touch labeling system and a part of font settings
when using Heat Shrink Tube. The printed characters may be smaller than when using TZe
tape.
The P-touch labeling system is not equipped with a charging feature for Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries.
The printed label may differ from the image that appears on the LCD.
Note that Brother Industries, Ltd. does not assume responsibility for any damage or injury
arising from the failure to follow the precautions listed in this manual.
