INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 1800!

Your new P-touch will allow you to create labels and stamps for any need. Its versatility enables you to design custom labels by choosing from a variety of frame designs and from many characters 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 per- sonalized labels, useful for color-coded filing. With the Stamp function, you can quickly and easily make stamps for reusable pre-inked stamp holders.

You no longer have to worry about urgent tasks that require professional printing. In the office, the factory, the lab and the home, the quality and performance of the P-touch 1810 makes it an extremely practical machine.

Finally, as you may want to refer to this User’s Guide occasionally, we suggest that you keep it in a handy place.
