GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

●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 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. Use a soft, dry cloth

only.

●Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine.

●To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter’s edge.

●Use only the AC adaptor (model AD-60) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of

any other adaptor will void the warranty.

●Do not try to disassemble the AC adaptor.

●When the machine is not being used for a long period of time and it is not necessary to

keep the text ﬁles stored in the memory, disconnect the AC adaptor, and remove the bat-

teries to prevent them from leaking and damaging the machine.

●When the AC adaptor is connected, unplugging the adaptor from the electrical outlet

before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text ﬁles in the memory, even if bat-

teries are installed.

• Use eight AA alkaline batteries in this machine.

This portable machine can be used anywhere by installing eight (8) AA alkaline batteries.

When you change the batteries, always replace all eight at the same time.

To change the batteries:

1Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the machine.

2If batteries are already installed, remove them.

3Insert eight new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that their poles point in the correct

direction.

4Attach the battery compartment cover.

☞Be sure to insert the new batteries within ﬁve minutes of removing the old ones,

otherwise the text shown in the display and any text ﬁles stored in the memory will

be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an AC outlet with the AC adaptor).

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend to use this

machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text

shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost.

If the batteries are not installed with their positive and negative poles pointing in

the correct direction, the batteries may leak, overheat or burst, or the print head

may overheat.

BATTERIES

The AC adaptor (model AD-60) allows you to use this machine wherever there is an electrical

outlet.

To connect the optional AC adaptor:

1Insert the plug on the adaptor cord into the connector marked DC IN 9.5V on the right

side of the machine.

2Insert the plug on the adaptor into the nearest standard electrical outlet.

☞Only use the AC adaptor designed exclusively for this machine.

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if you do not intend to use this

machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text

shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost.

When the AC adaptor is connected, unplugging the adaptor from the electrical out-

let before unplugging it from the machine can delete all text ﬁles in the memory,

even if batteries are installed.

It is recommended that you use the AC adaptor when printing large fonts on

1” (24 mm)-wide tape since this operation can quickly drain the batteries.

OPTIONAL AC ADAPTOR

A single TZ tape cassette is supplied with this unit. However, since TZ tape cassettes are avail-

able for this machine in a wide variety of colors and sizes, it is possible to make distinctive

color-coded and stylized labels.

In addition, this machine has been designed to allow you to change the tape cassettes quickly

and easily.

To change the tape cassette:

1Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released.

2If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.

3If the ink ribbon in the other tape cassette is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed

wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the ribbon.

Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.

☞If you are using a new tape cassette provided with a stopper, be sure to remove the

stopper.

4Insert the tape cassette firmly into the tape compartment, making sure that the entire back

of the cassette touches the bottom of the compartment.

☞When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on

the corner of the metal guide.

5Close the compartment cover, then turn on the machine if it is off.

6Hold down cand press _once to advance the tape and remove any slack.

TAPE CASSETTE

This machine is equipped with a USB port, allowing you to connect the P-touch to your IBM

PC-compatible or Macintosh computer, and print labels and stamps created using the P-touch

Editor software.

☞The P-touch Editor software and the printer driver must be installed before the P-touch is

connected to the computer or turned on. Follow the installation procedure on pages 7

through 19 to install the P-touch Editor software and the printer driver, and connect the

P-touch to the computer when you are instructed to do so.

A USB interface cable is not included with the PT-2300/2310. When connecting the

P-touch to a computer, use a standard USB cable (high-speed compatible with series A

and B connectors).

To connect the P-touch to the computer:

1Insert the flat (A) connector on the USB cable into the USB port on the computer.

2Insert the square (B) connector on the USB cable into the USB port on the right side of the

P-touch.

3Turn on the P-touch.

☞The USB cable needed for connecting the P-touch to the computer is not included. Be

sure to use a cable that meets the following speciﬁcations.
