Do not pull the tape. This may damage the tape cassettes.  
Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use only a  
soft, dry cloth.  
Remove the batteries and/or disconnect the AC Adaptor if you do not intend  
to use your machine for an extended period of time.  
(Note: When power is disconnected, any messages in the working area or the  
Message Memory area will be lost.)  
Do not put anything onto or into 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. Keep it out of both direct sunlight

BEFORE YOU START  
INSERTING A TAPE CASSETTE  
Brother TZ tapes are only available in the following widths for this machine:  
1/4”(6mm), 3/8”(9mm), 1/2”(12mm) and 3/4”(18mm).  
To insert a new tape cassette:  
(1) Lift the cassette cover so that you can reach the tape cassette easily. This will  
also release the installed cassette.  
(2) If there is a tape cassette already in the compartment, remove it by pulling it  
straight up.  
(3) Remove the stopper from a new tape cassette and if the tape is loose, use  
your finger to wind it in the direction of the arrow on the tape cassette until it  
is taut. If you are using a previous tape, ensure the tape is taut prior to insert-  
ing it into the unit.  
Note:  
Some tape cassettes are not provided with a stopper.  
(4) Insert the tape cassette firmly into the compartment.  
(5) Shut the compartment cover.  
(6) Advance the tape by holding down the CODE key and pressing the FEED key  
once, then cut the tape.

KEY OPERATIONS  
CODE KEY  
By holding down the CODE key and pushing the appropriate key, you can use  
the functions written in pink characters.  
SHIFT KEY  
By using the SHIFT key you can type capital letters, and symbols located on the  
upper part of keys. To type a capital “A”, hold the SHIFT key down and push the  
“A” key. To type a “percent” sign “%” (located above the “5”), hold the SHIFT  
key down and push the “5” key.  
CAPS KEY  
By holding down the CODE key and pressing the CAPS key, you set the machine  
into CAPS mode. When this mode is entered, the CAPS indicator on the display  
turns on. In CAPS mode, capital letters can be typed simply by pressing the char-  
acter keys. If number keys are pressed, numbers -- not the symbols above them --  
result. For this reason, CAPS mode is particularly useful for creating messages  
containing many numerals and capital letters. To exit CAPS mode, hold down the  
CODE key and press the CAPS key.  
ALT KEY  
By using the ALT key you can type various symbols marked on the keys in green.

MIRROR PRINTING  
For this application, tape with a clear adhesive must be used.  
When the mirror Printing function is used, characters are printed so as to be legi-  
ble from the adhesive side of the tape. If the labels are then attached to glass or  
some other transparent material, they can be read correctly from the opposite  
side. This type of label is particularly useful for attachment to the inside of shop  
windows or clear notebooks, so that it can be read from the outside. For this  
application, transparent tape must be used.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Problem  
What to Do  
1. The display stays blank after you  
have turned on the machine.  
Check the polarity of the batteries.  
If the batteries are low, replace  
them.  
Check that the adaptor is working  
properly.  
2. The machine does not print, or the  
printed characters are blurred.  
Check that the tape cassette has  
been inserted properly.  
If the tape cassette is empty, re-  
place it with a new one.  
Check that the character size is  
appropriate for the width of the  
tape that is used.  
3. The printed characters are not  
formed properly.  
The batteries are probably weak.  
Replace them.  
4. The tape cannot be cut.  
The cutting blade is probably dull.  
Replace the cutter unit.  
5. Striped tape appears.  
You have reached the end of the  
tape. Replace it with a new tape.  
6. The memory has cleared on its  
own.  
The batteries are probably weak.  
Replace them.  
7. An unprinted line appears on a  
label.  
There may be some dust on the  
print head. Wipe the print head  
gently with a dry cotton swab.  
If dust still remains, dip the cotton  
swab in isopropyl (rubbing) alco-  
hol and wipe the print head again.
