Your P-touch labeler should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance.
Note
Always disconnect the AC adapter before cleaning your P-touch labeler.
Cleaning the Exterior of Your P-touch Labeler
A
Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit using a soft, dry cloth.
Use a slightly dampened cloth with water on difficult to remove marks.
Important
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvent. These may deform the case or
damage the appearance of your P-touch labeler.

Question
Solution
I want to reset the P-touch labeler’s
network settings.
With the P-touch labeler off, press and hold the Feed & Cut button while
holding down the Power button. When the Editor Lite lamp starts flashing and
the Status lamp lights orange, press the Feed & Cut button twice while
continuing to hold down the Power button. The network settings will be reset
to the factory settings.
To turn off the APIPA setting and reset the network settings, press the
Feed & Cut button four times.
