Turning the P-touch On/Off

Press o to turn on or turn off the P-touch.

If the P-touch is powered by the AC adaptor or batteries, the previous session’s text is

displayed when the P-touch is turned on again. This feature allows you to stop work on a

label, turn off the machine, and return to it later without having to re-enter the text.

Regardless of whether the P-touch is being operated from battery or the AC adapter, the

machine will automatically turn off if no key is pressed or no operation is performed for

5 minutes.
