irremovable, the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other objects. Before applying the
label, check the environmental condition and the material.
Do not expose the tape cassettes to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or dust. Store
tape cassettes in a cool, dark place. Use the tape cassettes soon after opening the tape cassette
package.
Markings made with oil-based or water-based ink may be visible through a label affixed over them.
To
hide the markings, use two labels layered on top of each other or use a dark-coloured label.

Printing at a higher speed or at a higher resolution
The print speed and resolution can be changed depending on the combination of the type of tape
being used and the selected output setting. With HGe tape, labels can be printed at an even faster
speed or higher resolution.
When HGe tape is used, printing can be performed at a faster speed or at a higher resolution than with
TZe
tape.
When HGe tape is used with the “High Speed” setting selected, printing can be performed even faster.
However, since the resolution in the feed direction is reduced, this is not suitable for detailed printing.
When HGe tape is used with the “High Resolution” setting selected, printing can be performed with an
even higher resolution. This is suitable for detailed printing of objects such as graphics and curved lines.
When printing bar codes, use the “Standard setting, which has identical horizontal and vertical
resolutions.

Using P-touch Editor Lite LAN
(PT-9800PCN and Windows
®
only)
P-touch Editor Lite LAN is a basic version of
a
label-editing tool.
By copying P-touch Editor Lite LAN, installed
from the enclosed CD-ROM, into a shared
folder on the server, P-touch Editor Lite LAN
on the server can be accessed by other
network users to create labels, and print
from
PT-9800PCN connected to the network
without installing any PT-9800PCN driver on
the computer of each user.
How to install P-touch Editor Lite LAN
1
Start the computer and put the
CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2
Click [Custom Installation].
3
Click [P-touch Editor Lite LAN].
4
Follow the on-screen instructions.
How to share P-touch Editor Lite LAN
Copy the folder containing P-touch Editor
Lite LAN from the shared folder on the
network to your computer.
Start up P-touch Editor Lite LAN from the
shared folder on the network.
How to use P-touch Editor Lite LAN
1
Start P-touch Editor Lite LAN.
2
Enter the label text in P-touch Editor
Lite LAN.
For example, click on the layout area
and then type “Brother”.
3
Click on the “Print” button.
4
The label is printed.
Note
In order for P-touch Editor Lite LAN to be
used, the IP address of this printer must
be correctly specified.
The IP address can be specified with
a
utility such as BRAdmin Light, which
can be installed from [Utility Installation]
on the CD-ROM.
For details on using this utility, refer to
“Setting the IP address and subnet mask”
in the “Network User’s Guide” (PDF).
On a network where the IP address is
automatically assigned, for example, with
DHCP, the IP address is automatically
assigned when the printer is connected
to
the network, therefore the printer can
be used immediately. However, since the
IP
address may change dynamically,
we
recommend specifying a static
IP
address when P-touch Editor Lite LAN
is being used. For details, contact your
network administrator.
Specify the settings after consulting with
your network administrator.
Note
If it does not start up automatically, open
the files on the CD-ROM and double-click
on “Setup.exe”.
Note
A label created using P-touch Editor
Lite
LAN can only be printed from the
PT-9800PCN connected to the network.

ENGLISH
Printing the printer settings
The printer settings page shows a report listing
the printer settings and the network settings
(PT-9800PCN only). You can print the printer
settings page using the Feed/Cut button of the
printer.
1
Make sure that the TZe or HGe tape
cassette is installed and the tape
compartment cover is closed.
To print the printer settings page, we
recommend to use the tape wider than
24 mm.
2
Turn on the printer.
3
Press and hold the Feed/Cut button to
print out the settings.
Note
P-touch Editor Lite LAN is ideal for
creating simple labels. To create labels
with more complex designs, use
P-touch
Editor 5.0.
When using P-touch Editor Lite LAN for
the first time, the “Add shortcut” dialog
box appears. Select the desired location
from “Start menu”, “Desktop” or “Quick
Launch bar”, then put a check mark in
the box, and click [OK]. You can access
P-touch Editor Lite LAN from the shortcut
next time.
Since P-touch Editor Lite LAN uses the
network printing method and not the
driver settings, high speed printing and
high resolution printing using HGe tape
are not available.
Print jobs from the full version of P-touch
Editor sent from another computer may
interrupt your printing. P-touch Editor
Lite LAN will resume printing once the
print job from the full version has been
completed.
For more detailed information, see the
“Software User’s Guide” (PDF).
Note
In addition to other details, the node
name and Ethernet address are printed
in the printer settings list.
The default Node name of the network
card in the printer is
“BRNXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” where
“XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” is the Ethernet
address.

Maintenance
Your printer should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance.
Cleaning the exterior of the printer
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.
Cleaning the print head and head
roller
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed
labels generally indicates that the print head
and head roller are dirty. Clean the print
head using a dry cotton swab, self-cleaning
function or optional print head cleaning
cassette (TZe-CL6).
Refer to the instructions provided with the
print head cleaning cassette for directions on
how to use it.
Self-cleaning function
Remove the tape cassette, and then
press the Feed/Cut button.
Cleaning the print head manually
Cleaning the head roller manually
Cleaning the tape cutter
About once every year, wipe the cutter
blades using a cotton swab moistened with
isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
Tape adhesive can build up on the cutter
blade after repeated use, taking the edge
off
the blade which may result in the tape
jamming in the cutter.
Note
Always disconnect the AC adapter prior to cleaning the printer.
Note
Do not use paint thinner, benzene,
alcohol or any other organic solvent.
These may deform the case or damage
the appearance of your printer.

Q & A
Problem Solution
The printer does not print.
A printing error is received.
Check that the interface cable is connected correctly, the tape
cassette is installed correctly, and the tape compartment
cover is closed.
While printing, striped tape appears.
The tape cassette is empty.
Refer to “Installing the tape cassette” ( P. 15) and install
a new tape cassette.
There is about 1” of blank space at the
leading edge of each printed label.
Most TZe labels have a clear laminate top layer. This
durable laminate helps the label withstand abrasion, fading
and wet conditions providing a crisp, readable image. The
process of
adding this laminate layer results in the leading
edge of blank space. Adjusting the label’s margin or using
the chain printing feature may reduce the amount of blank
space.
The power button does not light up or
flash.
Check that the main power switch on the back of printer
is
on.
Check that the power supply and adapter cord is connected
correctly. If the power button still does not light up or flash,
contact the retail outlet where the printer was purchased or
your local authorised service center.
The printed label contains a blank
horizontal line.
There may be some dust on the print head.
Refer to “Maintenance” ( P. 43) and clean the print head
and head roller.
After the labels are cut, they are not
ejected from the printer correctly.
The cutter blade may be dirty.
Refer to “Maintenance” ( P. 43) and clean the cutter.
A data transmission error appears on
the computer.
The wrong port may be selected.
For Windows
®
, select the correct port from the “Print to
the following port” list in the printer Properties dialog box.

PT-9800PCN.
If the LED display on USB Direct Interface is flashing in
red, either the device is incompatible with the printer or
the device consumes too much power. In either case,
the
device cannot be used with the PT-9800PCN.
The buffer of the PT-9800PCN is full.
If the LED flashes in red while connected devices are
being used, the buffer of the PT-9800PCN may have
become full. Stop the data transmission, wait until the
data buffered in the PT-9800PCN has been processed,
and then unplug the device and plug it in again.
