cInsert the power supply plug into a standard electrical socket.
Important
• Turn the P-touch off before disconnecting the AC adapter.
• Do not pull or bend the AC adapter cord and power supply cord.
• After the power supply plug is inserted into the electrical socket, it may take a few seconds until the
(Power) button is enabled.
Note
To safeguard and backup the P-touch memory, when the power supply is unplugged it is recommended
to leave the rechargeable Li-ion batteries (optional: PA-BT-4000LI), installed in the P-touch.

cPass the tube as shown in the illustration so that the end of the tube reaches the “ ” mark on the
P-touch, and then push the tube release lever down.
dClose the top cover.
Note
• Do not use tube which is dirty, bent, flattened, has a rough surface or uneven tube thickness, or is defective
in any other way.
• When using the P-touch, position it so direct sunlight does not enter the P-touch through the tube exit slot.
• You can use the tube half-cut adjuster to adjust the depth of half cuts to one of three settings.
• If the tube is jammed or not cut completely, use the (Feed and Cut) button to manually cut the tube
completely. Press and hold the button for 2 to 10 seconds until the (Power) indicator changes from
being lit in green to flashing in green, and then release it. The tube will be cut when the button is released.

The TZe tape, FLe label, and HSe tube cassettes can be used in your P-touch.
Important
If the new tape cassette has a cardboard stopper, be sure to remove the stopper before inserting the

Important
• When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the tape and ink ribbon do not catch on the print head.
• Make sure that there is no slack in the tape, and then carefully insert the tape cassette. If there is slack in
the tape, the tape will catch on the protrusion (2) when the cassette is inserted and become bent or
wrinkled, causing the tape to jam. To fix the slack in the tape, refer to the illustration in step a and pull
the tape outside of the tape guide.
• When removing the tape cassette, make sure that the tape does not catch on the protrusion (2).
dClose the top cover.
Important
Store tape cassettes in a cool dark location, away from direct sunlight and high temperature, high humidity,
or dusty locations. After opening the sealed package, use the tape cassette as quickly as possible.
Turning Power On/Off 1
On: Press the (Power) button to turn the P-touch on. The (Power) indicator lights in green.
Off: Press and hold the (Power) button again to turn the P-touch off. The (Power) indicator may light in
orange until the power is off.
Important
When turning the P-touch off, do NOT remove the battery or disconnect the AC adapter until the
(Power) indicator turns off.

Feeding Tape 1
Important
• Be sure to feed tape to remove any slack in the tape and ink ribbon after inserting the tape cassette.
• Do not pull the label when the P-touch is ejecting it from the tape exit slot. Doing so will cause the
ink ribbon to be discharged with the tape. The tape may no longer be functional after the ink ribbon
discharges.
• Do not block the tape exit slot during printing or when feeding tape. Doing so will cause the tape to jam.
Feed and Cut 1
The Feed and Cut function feeds approximately 22.3 mm of blank tape, and then cuts the tape.
Press the (Feed and Cut) button.
