INTRODUCTION
With your PT-1280, you can create labels for any application. Select from the
many frames, character sizes and styles to design beautiful custom labels. In
addition, the variety of tape cartridges available allows you to print labels with
different widths and exciting colours.
Read this manual carefully before starting and keep the manual in a handy place
for future reference.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
˙ Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have
the
mark.
˙ Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.
˙ Do not touch the print head mechanism. Use a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) when
cleaning the print head.
˙ To avoid injuries, do not touch the edge of the cutter.
˙ To prevent damage or breakage of the glass, do not press hard on the LCD display.
˙ Do not put any foreign objects into or heavy objects on the machine.
˙ Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time,
otherwise the machine may be stained.
˙ Do not get the machine wet, such as by touching with wet hands or spilling beverages
on to the machine.
˙ Do not expose the machine to extremely high temperatures or high humidity. Never
leave it on the dashboard or in the back of your car, near heaters or other hot
appliances. Keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.
˙ Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places.
˙ Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch, otherwise the tape cassette
may be damaged.
˙ Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.
˙ Do not try to print labels using an empty tape cassette set in the P-touch. Doing so will
damage the print head.
˙ Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the
machine for an extended period of time. (Note: When power is disconnected for more
than three minutes, all text shown in the display and any text files stored in the memory
will be lost. Language and unit settings will also be cleared.)
˙ Do not use old and new batteries together or mix alkaline batteries with other type
batteries, or set the positive and negative end in the wrong position. Otherwise the
batteries may have leakage or fracture.
˙ Use only the suggested AC adapter for this machine to prevent any damage or
failure.
