Performing Routine Maintenance
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH the Print Head. It is very hot and you may get burned.
Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of fire, burns, injury, electrical shocks,
rupture, overheating, abnormal odours or smoke.
• Always use the specified voltage and the AC Adapter (AD-24ES/AD-5000ES: For Australia, New
Zealand only) for your machine to prevent any damage or failure.
• Do not touch your machine during a thunderstorm.
• Do not use your machine or AC Adapter in places of high humidity such as bathrooms.
• Do not overload the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on, or damage your machine, power cord or plug.
Do not forcibly bend or pull the power cord. Always hold the AC Adapter when disconnecting
from the electrical socket.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted in the electrical socket. Do not use an outlet that is loose.
• Do not allow your machine, AC Adapter, power plug, or batteries to get wet, for example, by
handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages on them.
• Do not disassemble or modify your machine, AC Adapter, or batteries.
• Do not allow a metal object to touch the plus and minus ends of a battery.
• Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, to change the batteries.
• Do not throw the batteries into fire or expose to heat.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter, remove batteries immediately and stop using your machine if you notice
abnormal odour, heat, discolouration, deformation or anything unusual while using or storing it.
• Do not use a damaged or leaking battery as the fluid may get on your hands.
• Do not use a deformed or leaking battery or one whose label is damaged. There is a possibility
of damaging your machine.
• Since loss of eyesight may result if leaked fluid from batteries gets into your eyes, immediately
rinse your eyes with a large amount of clean water, and then seek medical attention.
Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury, liquid leakage, burns, or heat.
• When your machine is not being used, store it out of the reach of children. In addition, do not
allow children to put any label printer parts or labels in their mouths. If any object has been
swallowed, seek medical attention.
• Do not touch metal parts around the Print Head immediately after printing.
• Do not touch the cutter blade.
• If leaked fluid from batteries gets on your skin or clothes, immediately rinse them with clean water.
• Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC Adapter if you do not intend to use your machine.
• Do not use any batteries other than those specified. Do not use combinations of old and new
batteries or combinations of different types, different charging levels, different manufacturers, or
different models. Do not insert a battery with its plus and minus ends reversed.
• Do not drop or hit your machine or AC Adapter.
• Do not put your finger inside your machine when you close the Cassette Cover and the Battery
Cover.
• Before using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, carefully read the instructions for the batteries and
battery charger, and be sure to use them correctly.
• If using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries with a specialised battery charger
before using the batteries.
• Do not put your finger inside the Tape Exit Slot. You could be injured by the cutter blade.
• Make sure you use only 6×AAA Alkaline Batteries or rechargeable 6×AAA Ni-MH batteries.

NOTE
• Pairing instructions may differ slightly, depending on the mobile device you are using.
• If your machine is not discovered by your mobile device, your machine may already be
connected to another device. If so, locate the mobile device that is paired with your
machine, turn off Bluetooth on that device, and then turn your machine off and then on
again.
• If your machine is moved too far from your mobile device, it may disconnect. If this
happens, repeat these steps near the label printer to pair them again.

cleaning the Print Head.
* Do not touch the Print Head with your hands.
Make sure your Tape Cassettes display the TZe mark ( ).
Use only tape widths of 3.5 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm, or 12 mm.
If there is a stopper on the TZe Tape Cassette, remove it before installation.
3. Inserting the Tape Cassette
1. Hold your machine as shown in the
