INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 1950/1960!

Your new P-touch will allow you to create labels for any need. Its versatility enables you to design custom labels by choosing from a variety of frame designs and from many character sizes and styles. In addition, the four tape widths (1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm), 1/2” (12 mm) and 3/4” (18 mm)) and variety of tape colors allow you to print personalized labels, useful for color-coded filing.
