•DO NOT touch the print head with your fingers.Use the optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4), the self-cleaning function of the printer or a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) when cleaning the print head (refer to “Cleaning the Unit” on page 70.).

•DO NOT clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.

•DO NOT place the P-touch labeler in direct sunlight, near heaters or other hot appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity, or dusty locations. Standard operating temperature range: 50°F to 95°F.

•DO NOT leave any rubber or vinyl on the printer for an extended period of time, otherwise the printer may be stained.

•Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some characters or symbols may be difficult to read.

•Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the mark.

•DO NOT pull or apply pressure to the tape in the cassette. Otherwise the tape cassette or printer may be damaged.

•DO NOT try to print labels using an empty tape cassette or without a tape cassette set in the P-touch labeler. Doing so will damage the print head.

•DO NOT attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.

•It is recommended that you use the USB cable supplied with the P-touch labeler. Should another USB cable need to be used, ensure it is of high quality construction.

•Be careful not to scratch the CD-ROM. Do not place the CD-ROM in any location exposed to high or low temperatures. Do not place heavy objects on the CD-ROM or bend it.

•Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or become irremovable, the color of the label may change or be transferred to other objects. Before applying the label, check the environmental condition and the material.

•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- colored label.

•Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure or repair of the P-touch labeler, or if the battery expires.

•When power is disconnected for more than two minutes, all text and format settings will be cleared. Any text files stored in the memory and clock settings will also be cleared.
