INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 1750!

Your new P-touch will allow you to create labels for any need. Its versatility enables you to

design custom labels by choosing from a variety of frame designs and from many characters

sizes and styles. In addition, the four tape widths (1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm), 1/2” (12 mm),

and 3/4” (18 mm)) and variety of tape colors allow you to print personalized labels, useful

for color-coded filing.

You no longer have to worry about urgent tasks that require professional printing. In the

office, the factory, the lab and the home, the quality and performance of the P-touch 1750

makes it an extremely versatile and practical machine.

Finally, as you may want to refer to this User’s Guide occasionally, we suggest you keep this

manual in a convenient place, as you may wish to refer to it occasionally.

• Do not use the machine in dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.

• 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

only.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• Do not try to disassemble the AC adapter.

• 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 adapter, and remove the bat-

teries to prevent them from leaking and damaging the machine.

• When the AC adapter is connected, unplugging the adapter 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 six AA batteries in this machine.

• To prevent damage during shipment, a clear protective sheet is placed over the LCD

panel. Remove this clear protective sheet before beginning use.

This lightweight and portable machine can be used anywhere by installing six (6)

AA batter-

ies

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

To change the batteries:

Remove the battery compartment cover on

the back of the machine.

If batteries are already installed, remove

them.

Insert six new AA batteries, making sure

that they face the correct direction.

Attach 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 adapter).

BATTERIES

The AC adapter (model AD-30) allows you to use this machine wherever there is an electri-

cal outlet.

To connect the optional AC adapter:

Insert the plug on the adapter cord into the

connector marked DC IN 7.0V on the right

side of the machine.

Insert the plug on the adapter into the near-

est standard electrical outlet.

☞

Only use the AC adapter designed

exclusively for this machine.

Remove the batteries and disconnect

the AC adapter 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.

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

3/4

″

(18-mm)-wide tape since this operation can quickly drain the batteries.

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

available for this machine in a wide variety of colors and sizes, it is possible to make distinc-

tive 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:

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

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

If 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.

OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER

TAPE CASSETTE

Insert 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.

Close the compartment cover, then turn on

the machine if it is off.

Hold down

and press

once to

advance the tape and remove any slack.

Push down on the tape cutter lever to cut off

any excess tape.

STICK

A stick is enclosed in the right side of the tape compartment cover of the P-touch. Use this

stick when pasting laminated tape to an object.

Open the tape compartment cover.

Pull the tip of the stick towards you with your finger.

Hold the tip of the stick and pull up to remove it.

ATTACHING LABELS

LAMINATED TAPE

The enclosed stick enables you to easily remove the backing from labels printed on lami-

nated tapes.

Hold the tape in your left hand, with the printed surface facing up, and hold the stick in

your right hand.

Pass the tape halfway through the long narrow hole in the stick.

Turn the stick three-quarters of a turn towards you and pull the stick away from you as

shown below.

4Peel off the label backing.

FABRIC TAPE

Fabric tape is used to attach a piece of fabric printed with your text onto garments using an

iron. After printing the text onto fabric tape and cutting off the label using scissors, place the

label on an ironed garment at the location where you wish to attach it in such a way that the

printed text can be read correctly. Cover the label with another piece of cloth and use an

iron set to a medium-high temperature (320 to 356 ˚F (160 to 180 ˚C)) to press down firmly

for 10 to 15 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape

cassette.

ABCDEF

Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machine’s print head and rollers.

This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very dusty environ-

ment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a blank horizontal streak may

appear through the label text. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the machine’s head may

need to be cleaned from time to time.

To clean the print head and rollers:

1Turn off the machine.

2Open the tape compartment cover, then remove the tape cassette if one is installed.

The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment.

3Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-and-down

motion.

Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion while

rotating them with your finger.

4Install a tape cassette, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing again.

5If dust still remains, repeat steps 3and 4using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl

(rubbing) alcohol.

If none of the above works, contact your service representative.

☞

Cleaning can also be done by using the optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-

CL4).
