Cleaning

Occasionally, certain parts of the P-touch may need to be cleaned. Dust or dirt may 
become attached to the P-touch’s print head and rollers, particularly when the unit is 
used outdoors or in a very dusty environment. With use, the tape cutter may become 
covered with adhesive, making it difficult to cut the tape.

Notes on cleaning the print head & rollers

☞

If a blank horizontal streak appears through the label text, clean the machine’s print 
head.

☞

The print head can be cleaned more easily if the optional print head cleaning cassette 
(TZ-CL4) is used.

☞

Before cleaning the print head and rollers, press 

o

 to turn off the P-touch, and then 

remove the batteries and disconnect the optional AC adapter.

☞

Be extremely careful not to touch the cutter blades with your fingers.
