The Brother's P Touch Labeling System comes in over 70 different models ranging from hand-held models to desktop models. The handheld models are so compact that they can fit in the palm of your hand. The desktops are larger and need to be placed on a desk to make operation and handling easier. Though there are different models, most of the models have the same basic operating features. This ensures that your label creation is done with ease.
Step 1
Insert batteries into your Brother P Touch Label Maker. The size of battery and the amount of batteries you must use will vary by the model of P Touch you are using. You will see the battery compartment on the bottom of the label maker. If you have an AC Adapter for your label maker, you can also opt to plug in the AC Adapter to use electricity instead of battery power.
