Cleaning

Occasionally, certain parts of the P-touch may need to be cleaned. Dust or dirt may become attached to the P-touch’s print head and rollers, particularly when the unit is used outdoors or in a very dusty environment. With use, the tape cutter may become covered with adhesive, making it difficult to cut the tape.

Cleaning the print head, rollers and tape cutter

☞Before cleaning the print head and rollers, press oto turn off the P-touch, and then remove the batteries and disconnect the optional AC adapter.

☞Be extremely careful not to touch the cutter blades with your fingers.

Notes on cleaning the print head & rollers

☞If a blank horizontal streak appears through the label text, clean the machine’s print head.

☞The print head can be cleaned more easily if the optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4) is used.
