GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
•
Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the
mark.
•
Tapes are available in three different widths: 1/4" (6 mm), 3/8" (9 mm) and 1/2" (12
mm).
•
Do not pull the tape since this may damage the tape cassettes.
•
Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the
tape.
•
Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use only a soft, dry
cloth.
•
Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the
machine for an extended period of time.
Note: If power is disconnected for more than three minutes, all text shown in the
display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost.
•
Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine.
•
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 use the machine in dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and
rain.
•
Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time.
Doing so may cause staining.
•
After inserting a new tape cassette, advance the tape by holding down
pressing
once.
•
Do not touch the print head mechanism. If the head is touched, clean it immediately
with a soft wipe (e.g., a cotton swab) to avoid permanent damage.
•
To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge.
•
Use only the AC adapter designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any
other adapter will void the warranty.
Please contact your Brother dealer for details.
