English

With your PT-1010, you can create labels for any application. Select from the 
many frames, character sizes and styles to design beautiful custom labels. In 
addition, the variety of tape cartridges available allows you to print labels with 
different widths and exciting colors.
Read this manual carefully before starting and keep the manual in a handy 
place for future reference.

ā€¢ Always use the specified voltage and the suggested AC adapter (AD-24) for this 

machine to prevent any damage or failure.

ā€¢ Unplug the power cord immediately and stop using the P-touch labeler during an 

electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

ā€¢ Do not use the AC adapter in places of high humidity such as bathrooms.
ā€¢ Do not overload the power cord.
ā€¢ Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the power cord or plug. Do not forcibly bend 

or pull the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord from the power outlet, 
always hold the plug.

ā€¢ To prevent fire or electric shock, make sure that the plug is fully inserted to the power 

outlet. Do not use an outlet that is loose.

ā€¢ Do not get the machine/AC adapter/power plug wet, such as by handling them with 

wet hands or spilling beverages on to them.

ā€¢ Do not disassemble or modify the machine/AC adapter/batteries.
ā€¢ Disconnect the AC adapter, remove batteries and stop using immediately if you notice 

any abnormal odour, heat, discolouration, deformation or anything unusual while in 
use, or in storage.

ā€¢ Do not use metallic articles, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, when exchanging the 

batteries.

ā€¢ Do not throw into fire or heat up the battery.

ā€¢ To avoid injuries, do not touch the blade of the cutter unit or any metal parts near the 

print head.

ā€¢ Do not apply excessive pressure to the cutter lever.
ā€¢ Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the 

machine for an extended period of time. (Note: When power is disconnected for more 
than two minutes, all text & formats in the display will be lost. Language, Unit and 
Time/Date settings will also be cleared.)

ā€¢ 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.

ā€¢ To prevent damage or breakage, do not drop or hit the machine/AC adapter and press 

on the LCD display.

ā€¢ Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may 

unpeel or become irremovable, the color of the label may change or be transferred to 
other objects. Before applying the label, check the environmental condition and the 
material.

ā€¢ Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure or repair of the P-touch labeler, 

or if the battery expires.

ā€¢ Do not use the P-touch labeler in any way or for any purpose not described in this 

guide.  Doing so may result in accidents or damage the machine.

ā€¢ Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the 

 mark.

ā€¢ Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry 

cloth.

ā€¢ Do not touch the print head with your fingers. Use a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) 

when cleaning the print head.

ā€¢ Do not put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot or AC adapter connector, etc.
ā€¢ Do not place the P-touch labeler in direct sunlight or rain, near heaters or other hot 

appliances, dashboard or in the back of your car, in any location exposed to extremely 
high or low temperatures, high humidity, or dusty locations. Standard operating 
temperature range: 50

Ā°

F to 95

Ā°

F (10

Ā°

C to 35

Ā°

C).

ā€¢ Do not try to print labels using an empty tape cassette in the P-touch labeler. Doing 

so will damage the print head.

ā€¢ Do not pull the tape being fed from the P-touch labeler, otherwise the tape cassette 

or P-touch labeler may be damaged.

INTRODUCTION

 WARNING

 CAUTION

General Precautions

Power Supply & Tape Cassettes

Open the tape compartment 
cover by pressing in the rough 
area at the top end of the 
machine. 

If a tape cassette is already 
installed, remove it by pulling it 
straight up. Also, if batteries are 
already installed, remove them.
ā€¢ Make sure that the power is 

turned off when replacing 
batteries or tape cassette.

Insert six new AAA alkaline 
batteries (LR03), making sure 
that their poles point in the 
correct directions. Always 
replace all six batteries at the 
same time using brand new 
ones.

Insert a tape cassette, making 
sure that it snaps into place.

ā€¢ Make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.
ā€¢ If the ink ribbon is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the

direction of the arrow on the cassette.

ā€¢ Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine.

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.

When using optional AC adapter (AD-24)

Insert the plug on the adapter cord into 
the adapter jack on the bottom end of 
the machine.
Insert the plug into the nearest standard 
electrical outlet.

For memory back up, we recommend using 
AAA alkaline batteries (LR03) together 
when using the AC adapter.

Problem

Solution

The display stays blank 
after you have turned on 
the machine.

ā€¢ Check that the batteries are correctly inserted.
ā€¢ If the batteries are weak, replace them.
ā€¢ Check that the AD-24 adapter is correctly connected.

When the label is 
printed out, there is too 
much margin (space) on 
both sides of the text.

ā€¢ See "[Margin] 

(Tape Margin)

" in this users guide and select 

[Half] or [Narrow] to have smaller margins for your label.

The machine does not 
print, or the printed 
characters are not 
formed properly.

and Time/Date settings will also be cleared.

A blank horizontal line 
appears through the 
printed label.

ā€¢ There maybe some dust on the print head. Remove the 

tape cassette and use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the 
print head with an up-and-down motion.

The machine has 
"locked up" (i.e., nothing 
happens when a key is 
pressed, even though 
the machine is on.)

ā€¢ Turn off the machine, and then while holding down 

and 

, press 

 to turn the machine back on. 

Finally, release 

and 

.

ā€¢ Note: The text and formats in the display are erased. Also, 

the language, Unit and Time/Date settings will be cleared.

The power turns off 
when you try to print.

ā€¢ The batteries may be weak. Replace them.
ā€¢ Check that the batteries are correctly inserted.

The tape does not feed 
properly or the tape gets 
stuck inside the machine.

ā€¢ Check that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.
