Machine
 DO NOT transport the machine while cables are connected to the AC connector and USB port. The
connector and ports could be damaged.
 DO NOT install the machine near any device that will cause electromagnetic interference.
The machine may malfunction if left near a device, such as a television, radio, or microwave oven.
 DO NOT use the machine in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide. Doing so may result
in injury or damage to the machine.
 DO NOT put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter socket, or any other part of the
machine.
 DO NOT touch the print head (see page 4) with your fingers. Use the optional print head cleaning
cassette (TZe-CL6) or a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) when cleaning the print head (see the User's
Guide).
 DO NOT clean any part of the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use only a soft, dry cloth.
 DO NOT place the machine in direct sunlight, near heaters or other hot appliances, or in any location
exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity, or dust. The standard operating
temperature range of the machine is between 10C and 35C for labels.
 DO NOT leave any rubber or vinyl, or products made of rubber or vinyl, on the machine for an extended
period of time, otherwise the machine may become marked.
 Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some characters or symbols may
be difficult to read.
 Use Brother TZe tapes, FLe labels and HSe tubes with the machine.
 DO NOT pull or apply pressure to the tape in the cassette to avoid damaging the machine.
 DO NOT try to print labels using an empty tape cassette or without a tape cassette in the machine.
Doing so will damage the print head.
 DO NOT attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.
 Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or become
irremovable, and the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other objects.
 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-coloured label.
 Any data stored in the P-touch labelling machine memory will be lost:
• if the machine fails
• if the battery expires
• following a repair
