USER’S GUIDE

9600/36009600/3600

PREFACE

Thank you for purchasing this P-touch!

With your new P-touch, you can create labels for any purpose. Select from a variety of frames, fonts

and character styles to design beautiful custom labels. In addition, the many pre-formatted templates

available make label-making quick and easy.

You can print professional-looking labels in no time. The quality and performance of this P-touch

make it an extremely practical machine to meet all your labelling needs.

Although this P-touch is easy to use, we suggest that you read this User’s Guide carefully before

starting. Keep this manual nearby for future reference.

NOTE

The P-touch will make a noise when it is turned on or while it is printing; however, this does not indicate a

malfunction.
