USER’S GUIDE MODEL PT-9400

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- and stamp-making quick and easy.

Installing the P-touch Editor software on your computer will provide you with many more

illustration and layout tools to design labels, which can then be printed on your P-touth.

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.

EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU CAN

Quickly create a label for a home video by using the Template function (➩p. 41). If you

wish, you can then change the overall style of the text (➩p. 43).

Use the NUMBER (numbering)

function (➩p. 50) to print several

numbered labels at one time, with-

out changing the text for each label.

You can also invert the printing to

make the light parts dark and the

dark parts light (➩p. 53).

With the New Block function (➩p. 16), your labels can contain sections with dif-

ferent numbers of lines. In this label, part of the text was formatted using a different

font (➩p. 25) and a different style (➩p. 28). In addition, the Barcode function

makes creating and printing barcodes easy.

Decorate your text using the many frames and shadings (➩p. 32). Then,

just before printing, use the TRANSFORMATION function (➩p. 54) to

change the shape of the text.
