What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine:

If you have delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving one from Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brother, Brother will send to you a replacement Machine with the understanding that you will, after receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required proof of purchase information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the air bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions provided by Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines, Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number. Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines that your original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems of your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty period on your original Product has expired or has not been

sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of purchase (bill of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original Machine shall become the property of Brother.

Retain your original accessory items and a copy of the return air bill, signed by the courier. Limitations:

Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media, programs or data related to the use of this Product. Except for that repair or replacement as described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION, PROMISE, DESCRIPTION, DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. This Limited Warranty is the only warranty

that Brother is giving for this Product. It is the

final expression and the exclusive and only statement

of Brothers obligations to you. It replaces all other agreements and understandings that you may have with Brother or its representatives.

This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state.

This Limited Warranty (and Brothers obligation to you) may not be changed in any way unless you and Brother sign the same piece of paper in which we (1) refer to this Product and your bill of sale date, (2) describe the change to this warranty and (3) agree to make that change.

To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutters edge.

Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine to avoid damage. Do not use tapes that do

not have the mark. Brother cannot be held responsible for trouble or damage by the use of unauthorized supplies.

Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch. This may damage the tape cassette.

Do not use the machine in dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.

Do not expose the machine to high temperatures or high humidity. Never leave it on the dashboard or in the back of your car.

Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause staining.

Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use a soft, dry cloth only.

Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine.

Use only the AC adaptor (model AD-24) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adaptor may void the warranty.

Do not try to disassemble the AC adaptor.

When the machine is not being used for a long period of time and it is not necessary to keep the text les stored in the memory, disconnect the AC adaptor, and remove the bat- teries to prevent them from leaking and damaging the machine.

When the AC adaptor is connected, unplugging the adaptor from the electrical outlet before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text les in the memory, even if bat- teries are installed.

Use six AA alkaline batteries in this machine.

If the batteries are not installed with their positive and negative poles pointing in the cor- rect direction, the batteries may leak, overheat or burst, or the print head may overheat.

This portable machine can be used anywhere by installing six (6)

AA alkaline batteries

. When you change the batteries, always replace all six at the same time.

To change the batteries: 1

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the machine. 2

If batteries are already installed, remove them. 3

Insert six new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that their poles point in the correct direction. 4

Attach the battery compartment cover.

Be sure to insert the new batteries within ve minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise the text shown in the display and any text les stored in the memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an AC outlet with the AC adaptor).

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

BATTERIES

4

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend to use this machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost. If the batteries are not installed with their positive and negative poles pointing in the correct direction, the batteries may leak, overheat or burst, or the print head may overheat.

The AC adaptor (model AD-24) allows you to use this machine wherever there is an electrical outlet.

To connect the AC adaptor: 1

Insert the plug on the adaptor cord into the connector marked DC IN 9-9.5V on the right side of the machine.

2

Insert the plug on the adaptor into the nearest standard electrical outlet.

Only use the AC adaptor designed exclusively for this machine. Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend to use this machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost. When the AC adaptor is connected, unplugging the adaptor from the electrical out- let before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text les in the memory, even if batteries are installed.

TZ tape cassettes are available for this machine in a wide variety of colors and sizes. It is pos- sible to make distinctive color-coded and stylized labels. In addition, this machine has been designed to allow you to change the tape cassettes quickly and easily.

To change the tape cassette: 1

Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released. 2

If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up. 3

If the ink ribbon in the tape cassette to be installed is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the ribbon. Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.

If you are using a new tape cassette provided with a stopper, be sure to remove the stopper.

4 Insert the tape cassette firmly into the tape compartment, making sure that the entire back of the cassette touches the bottom of the compartment. When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on

the corner of the metal guide. 5 Close the compartment cover, and then turn on the machine, if it is off.

6 Hold down c and press _ once to advance the tape and remove any slack.

This machine does not support stamp tapes (SK-MB/SH-MB).

TAPE CASSETTE

LAMINATED TAPE When you open the tape compartment cover of the machine, you will find a lettering stick in the upper right hand corner. This stick enables you to easily remove the backing from labels printed on laminated tapes, as shown below. 1 Hold the tape in your left hand, with the printed surface facing up, and hold the stick in

your right hand. 2 Pass the tape halfway through the long narrow hole in the stick. 3 Turn the stick three-quarters of a turn towards you and pull the stick away from you as

shown below. 4 Peel off the label backing.

Some tapes can be folded in half so that the inside edges of the two backing pieces come off the label, enabling the backing to be peeled off easily.

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)) and press down firmly for 15 to 30 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cassette.

Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machines print head and rollers. This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very dusty environment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a black horizontal streak may appear through the label text. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the machines head may need to be cleaned from time to time.

To clean the print head and rollers: 1 Turn off the machine. Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor. 2 Open the tape compartment cover, and then remove the tape cassette if one is installed.

The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment. 3 Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-and-down

motion. Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion while rotating them with your finger.

4 Install a tape cassette, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing again. 5 If a blank streak still appears in the label, repeat steps 3 and 4. If none of the above works, contact your service representative.

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

The character size can be adjusted using both the Size and Width functions. Since the charac- ter size that can be used depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the char- acter sizes that can be used with each tape width.

The default size setting is AUTO and the default width setting is OFF. The currently selected size setting is always shown by the indicator above the display. With the AUTO size setting, the machine compares your text with the width of the installed tape and automatically adjusts the characters to the largest possible size. However, seven other point sizes are also available, and each can be printed with either of the two width settings. With the AUTO setting selected and 1/2" (12-mm) or 3/4" (18-mm) wide tape installed,

text consisting of just one line of only uppercase letters (and no accented characters) will be printed with a character size slightly larger than a similar sentence also contain- ing lowercase letters (i.e., 29 points for 1/2" (12-mm) wide tape and 52 points for 3/4" (18-mm) wide tape).
