the AC adapter designed specifically for your P-touch is
correctly connected. Check that the rechargeable
battery is fully charged.

select your desired language.

remaining.
• If the tape is creased, cut off the creased section and
thread the tape through the tape exit slot.

then pull out the jammed tape and cut it. Check that the
