Thank you for purchasing the PT-9200DX!  
With your new Brother label printer, you can print personalized labels for any purpose. Simply insert a label cassette into  
the PT-9200DX, design your label with the enclosed P-touch Editor software, and then print it out. Your customized label  
prints out in seconds. Labels are available in various sizes and colors—ideal for color-coding and your own special  
labeling needs.  
The many features of the P-touch Editor software make creating great labels quick and easy. Not only does the software  
automate the more complicated layout functions, but it also includes a variety of pre-formatted templates for immediate  
use.  
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS  
• Use only Brother TZ tapes with machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the  
mark.  
• Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch. Doing so may damage the tape cassette.  
• Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places. Keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.  
• Do not expose the machine to extremely high temperature or humidity.  
• Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause staining.  
• Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.  
• Do not put any foreign objects into or heavy objects on the machine.  
To avoid injures, do not touch the cutter’s edge.  
• Do not touch the print head, which becomes very hot when P-touch is used. Even after the machine is turned off, the  
print head remains hot for some time.  
• Use only the power supply cord designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other cord will void the warranty.  
• Use only the attached interface cables for this machine. Use of any other cable will void the warranty.  
• When the machine is not being used for a long period of time, disconnect the power supply cord.  
• Do not try to disassemble the P-touch.

Tape Cassettes  
Do not pull on the tape, otherwise the tape cassette may be damaged.  
If the label is attached to a wet or dirty surface, it may easily peel off. Before affixing the label, clean the surface  
where it will be attached.  
Depending on the environmental conditions and the material, condition, roughness, and shape of the affixing  
surface, the label may move out of place or peel off.  
In order to test the label’s adhesive strength or before using this label where safety is a particular concern, test the  
label by affixing a small piece of it to a hidden area of the intended surface.  
Sunlight, wind and rain may cause the color of the label to fade or the label to peel off.  
Markings made with oil-based or water-based ink may be visible through a label affixed over them. To hide the  
markings, use two labels layered on top of each other, or use tape with a dark background.  
This tape may not be adequate in cases where liabilities may result due to damage or injuries.

Connecting the interface and power supply cables  
Connect the PT-9200DX to the computer according to the instructions below.  
When connecting to the serial port:  
Serial  
1 Make sure that both the PT-9200DX and the computer are turned off.  
2 Connect one end of the enclosed serial interface cable to the serial connector (IOIOI) of the PT-9200DX and the  
other end of the cable to the serial port of the computer. For a Macintosh connection, connect the PT-9200DX to  
either the modem or the printer port (preferably the modem port).  
The serial (RS-232C) ports of some computers are shaped so that the serial interface cable cannot be con-  
nected. If this is the case, use a commercially available adapter.  
3 Insert the plug on one end of the power supply cord into the power supply jack on the PT-9200DX.  
4 Insert the plug on the other end of the power supply cord into an AC outlet equipped with a grounding terminal.  
Some locations may require the use of an adapter provided with a grounding wire. Connect this wire to the ground  
terminal.  
5 Turn on the PT-9200DX, and then turn on the computer.

When connecting to the USB port:  
You must install the software first before connecting to the USB interface or turning on the power. Please follow the  
installation procedures on pages 6 through 12 before connecting up or turning the power on. The Brother P-touch  
installation software will instruct you when to do this.  
USB  
1 Connect one end of the enclosed USB interface cable to the USB connector (  
) of the PT-9200DX and the other  
end of the cable to the USB port of the computer.  
Do not connect the PT-9200DX to the computer using both the serial and the USB interface cables, otherwise  
the PT-9200DX may be damaged.  
When making a USB connection through a hub, a proper connection may not be possible due to the type of  
hub used. If printing is not possible with a hub connection, try connecting the PT-9200DX directly to the  
computer using the USB interface cable.  
2 Insert the plug on one end of the power supply cord into the power supply jack on the PT-9200DX.  
3 Insert the plug on the other end of the power supply cord into an AC outlet equipped with a grounding terminal.  
Some locations may require the use of an adapter provided with a grounding wire. Connect this wire to the ground  
terminal.

Barcode  
Keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor Version 3.1 to print barcodes.  
Barcodes should be printed on white tape. If other colours of tape are used, the barcode reader may not be able to  
read the barcode correctly.  
Be sure to test the barcode reader to make sure that it can read printed barcodes in the environment where you plan  
to use them. In some cases, the barcodes are not read correctly.  
The QR Code protocol can only be used with English. If data in any other language is entered, the barcode may not  
be read correctly.  
Databases  
For general details, refer to the Users Guide supplied on the P-touch Editor Version 3.1 CD-ROM.  
Keep the following points in mind when using the database functions of P-touch Editor Version 3.1.  
The database function of P-touch Editor Version 3.1 (Windows® version) uses database files that are compatible with  
Microsoft Access 97. By upgrading P-touch Editor Version 3.1 using a program available on the CD-ROM, P-touch  
Editor will become compatible with Access 2000. Refer to the Readme file located at English\Ptouch\Editor\Ac2k  
on the CD-ROM (the folder name for French is Francais), and start up the program.  
P-touch Editor Version 3.1 can import files other than mdb files, such as csv files. Files saved as csv files with an  
application such as Microsoft® Excel can be used with P-touch Editor. Refer to the Users Guide supplied on the P-  
touch Editor Version 3.1 CD-ROM for more details.  
Using a function available with Microsoft® Access 97, Excel files can be linked to mdb files. With this function, data  
changed in Excel is automatically updated with the P-touch Editor.
