• Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine.  
Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.  
Do not try to print labels using an empty tape cassette set in the P-touch labeler. Doing  
so will damage the print head.

Do not use old and new batteries together or mix alkaline batteries with other type  
batteries, or set the positive and negative end in the wrong position. Otherwise, the  
batteries may leak or be damaged.  
Securely close the back cover, making sure  
that it snaps into place.  
After you have installed the tape, feed the tape  
(see Feeding) once and then push in the tape  
cutter lever to cut the tape.

damage or failure.  
Carrying Case  
Insert the plug on the adapter cord into
