Cleaning
Occasionally, certain parts of the P-touch may need to be cleaned. Dust or dirt may
become attached to the P-touch's print head and rollers, particularly when the unit is
used outdoors or in a very dusty environment. With use, the tape cutter may become
covered with adhesive, making it difficult to cut the tape.
