With your PT-1880, 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.

• Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have

the mark.

• Do not disassemble or modify the machine/AC adapter.

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

cloth.

• Do not touch the print head mechanism. Use a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) when

cleaning the print head.

• To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge.

• To prevent damage or breakage, do not press on the LCD display.

• Do not put any foreign objects into or heavy objects on the machine.

• Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time,

otherwise the machine may be stained.

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

wet hands or spilling beverages on to them.

• Do not expose the machine/AC adapter to extremely high temperatures or high

humidity. Never leave them on the dashboard or in the back of your car, near heaters

or other hot appliances. Keep them out of both direct sunlight and rain.

• Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places.

• Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some

characters or symbols may be difficult to read.

• Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch labeler, otherwise the tape

cassette or P-touch labeler may be damaged.

• Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.

• Do not try to print labels using an empty tape cassette set in the P-touch labeler. Doing

so will damage the print head.

• 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 five minutes, all text, format settings and any text files stored in the memory will

be cleared.)

• 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.

• Do not use metallic articles, such as tweezers or metallic pen, when exchanging the

batteries.

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

machine to prevent any damage or failure.

• To prevent fire or electric shock, make sure that the plug of the AC adapter is fully

inserted into the power outlet. Do not use an outlet that is loose.

If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.

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

• Make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.
