Your P-touch should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance and life
span. We recommend that you clean it at least once every month.
Always turn the P-touch off before cleaning.

Cleaning the Main Unit

Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit using a soft, dry cloth.
Use a slightly dampened cloth on difficult to remove marks.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvent. These may deform the
case or damage the appearance of your P-touch.

Cleaning the Print Head

Streaks or poor quality characters in printed labels
generally indicates that the print head is dirty. Clean
the print head using a cotton swab or optional print
head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4).
• Do not touch the print head directly with your
bare hands.
• Refer to the instructions provided with the print
head cleaning cassette for directions on how to
