Your P-touch should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance and life span.
Always remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter before cleaning the
P-touch.

Cleaning the Unit

Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit using a soft, dry cloth.
Use a slightly dampened cloth on difficult areas 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 on printed labels generally
indicates that the print head is dirty. Clean the print head using
a cotton swab or the optional print head cleaning cassette
(TZe-CL4).
1. Print head
• 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 use it.

Cleaning the Tape Cutter

Tape adhesive can build up on the cutter blade after repeated
use, blunting the blade which may result in the tape jamming in
the cutter.
• About once every year, wipe the cutter blade using a
cotton swab moistened with Isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol).
• Do not touch the cutter blade directly with your bare
hands.
