Ironing

Iron garments with transfers using normal tem- perature settings.

Be sure to place a piece of cloth between the iron and the label when you iron over it to pre- vent the label from sticking to the iron.

The labels are non-toxic, however, please main- tain the usual precautions, such as not placing them in your mouth, etc.

Fabric tape

Fabric tape is used to attach a piece of fabric printed with your text onto garments using an iron. After printing the text onto fabric tape and cutting off the label using scissors, place the label on an ironed garment at the location where you wish to attach it in such a way that the printed text can be read correctly. Cover the label with another piece of cloth and use an iron set to a medium-high temperature (320 to 356 °F (160 to 180 °C)) to press down firmly for 15 to 30 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cas- sette.

In addition to labels, your P-touch can be used to make custom, pre-inked stamps for various uses (optional stamp kit required). Simply design your own customized stamps using one of the pre-formatted stamp templates, and then affix the printed stamp stencil to a self-inking stamp film holder.

1Install a stamp film cassette, and then for- mat the stamp text in either of the following ways:

a)Select a pre-formatted stamp template from those available with the Auto For- mat function (refer to page 66).

b)Type in text, and then set the Stamp func- tion to ON (refer to page 65).

NOTE

If an Auto Format stamp template is used, it is not necessary to set the Stamp function to ON.

3Print out the stamp stencil and remove its backing paper.

4Remove the frame from around the stamp holder ink pad, one end at a time, and then remove the protective seal covering the ink pad.

NOTE

If the stamp holder already contains a stamp film, hold the stamp over a piece of scrap paper and remove the stamp frame by pulling it off, one end at a time. Then, slowly peel off the stamp film. Be careful that the ink does not splatter.

Keep the stamp film holder out of the reach of children.

Avoid getting ink in your eyes or mouth. If ink gets in your eyes or mouth, immediately wash it with fresh water for several minutes and consult a doctor.

Keep ink off skin, clothes and important papers. Immediately use soap to wash skin that has come in contact with ink. Even washing may not remove all ink.

5With the glossy side of the stamp film facing up, align one end of the stamp film with the slit in the side of the stamp holder.
