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: 6 mm, 9 mm and 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 

 and

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 damage the machine and such damages may not be covered
under warranty [For PT-1100 only].
Please contact your Brother dealer for details.

three minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise all text
shown in the display and any text files stored in the
memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into
an outlet with the AC adapter).

4

Securely close the back cover, making sure that it snaps into place.
