On your mobile device:
1. In Settings, access the Bluetooth option, and turn it ON.
2. When the list of discovered Bluetooth devices appears, tap P300BT**** (where **** is
the last four digits of your label printer’s serial number, alternatively, you can find your
machine number on the sticker below the Power Button). The unit's serial number is

NOTE
• Pairing instructions may differ slightly, depending on the mobile device you are using.
• If your machine is not discovered by your mobile device, your machine may already be
connected to another device. If so, locate the mobile device that is paired with your
machine, turn off Bluetooth on that device, and then turn your machine off and then on
again.
• If your machine is moved too far from your mobile device, it may disconnect. If this
happens, repeat these steps near the label printer to pair them again.
• If using a Smart Cover on your tablet, ensure that the cover remains open while you are
creating or printing labels. Closing the Smart Cover may interrupt data communication, and
your labels will not print.

Problem Solution
I cannot turn my machine on. Check to see that the batteries are installed correctly, or that
the AC Adapter is securely connected.
A horizontal space runs
through the middle of printed
labels.
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed labels generally
indicate that the Print Head is dirty. See the section
"Performing Routine Maintenance" for instructions on
cleaning the Print Head.
* Do not touch the Print Head with your hands.
Make sure your Tape Cassettes display the TZe mark ( ).
Use only tape widths of 3.5 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm, or 12 mm.
If there is a stopper on the TZe Tape Cassette, remove it before installation.

drawing marked inside the case.
Confirm that the tape is aimed at the
green Tape Outlet and gently press the
Tape Cassette into your machine until it
locks into place.
NOTE
• Make sure that there is no slack in the
tape. To fix any slack, pull the end of
the tape out of the Tape Guide.
• When inserting or removing the Tape
Cassette, make sure that the tape
does not catch on the silver pin (3) or
the Print Head.
3. Insert the two hooks at the rear of the
Cassette Cover into the slots on your
machine (4). Push the Cassette Cover
