FABRIC TAPE Fabric tape is used to attach a piece of fabric printed with your text onto garments using an iron. After printing the text onto fabric tape and cutting off the label using scissors, place the label on an ironed garment at the location where you wish to attach it in such a way that the printed text can be read correctly. Cover the label with another piece of cloth and use an iron set to a medium-high temperature (320 to 356 °F (160 to 180 °C)) to press down firmly for 10 to 15 seconds. For more details, refer to the instructions included with the fabric tape cassette.  The label will have a white background on colored cloth. STAMP TAPE By making a stencil from TZ stamp stencil film and affixing it to a self-inking stamp film holder, you can easily create your own personalized stamps. To make a stamp using your P-touch 1300, install a MEDIUM stamp stencil film cassette (3/4" (18-mm)wide stencil film with a 1/2" (12-mm)-wide print area) as described on page 7, and then enter the text as explained below. 1 Use the length function to set the tape length to 4.1" (10.5 cm). 2 Use the horizontal alignment function to select the CENTER setting. 3 Use the tape margin function to select the FULL setting. 4 Enter the text so that it fits within an area of 3/8" × 2.2" (9 × 55 mm). To check the text and its length, remove the stamp stencil film cassette and insert a normal 1/2" (12-mm)-wide label tape cassette, and then print a trial label. For more information refer to the instructions included with the Stamp Kit.  It is recommended that you use the AC adapter (AD-60) when printing stamps since these operations can quickly drain the batteries. Otherwise the stamps may not be printed correctly. 9

STAMP TAPE
By making a stencil from TZ stamp stencil film and affixing it to a self-inking stamp
film holder, you can easily create your own personalized stamps. To make a stamp
using your P-touch 1300, install a MEDIUM stamp stencil film cassette (3/4” (18-mm)-
wide stencil film with a 1/2” (12-mm)-wide print area) as described on page 7, and
then enter the text as explained below.
1
Use the
length
function to set the tape length to 4.1” (10.5 cm).
2
Use the
horizontal alignment
function to select the
CENTER
setting.
3
Use the
tape margin
function to select the
FULL
setting.
4
Enter the text so that it fits within an area of 3/8”
×
2.2” (9
×
55 mm).
To check the text and its length, remove the stamp stencil film cassette and insert a
normal 1/2” (12-mm)-wide label tape cassette, and then print a trial label.
For more information refer to the instructions included with the Stamp Kit.
It is recommended that you use the AC adapter (AD-60) when printing stamps
since these operations can quickly drain the batteries. Otherwise the stamps
may not be printed correctly.
