INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the P-touch 2400/2410!

Your new P-touch will allow you to create labels and stamps for any need. Its versatility

enables you to design custom labels by choosing from a variety of frame designs and from

many characters sizes and styles. In addition, the five tape widths (1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm),

1/2” (12 mm), 3/4” (18 mm), and 1” (24 mm)) and variety of tape colors allow you to print per-

sonalized labels, useful for color-coded filing. With the

Stamp

function, you can quickly and

easily make stamps for reusable pre-inked stamp holders.

You no longer have to worry about urgent tasks that require professional printing. In the office,

the factory, the lab, and the home, the quality and performance of the P-touch 2400/2410

make it an extremely practical machine.)

(The PT-2400 and the PT-2410 models are equipped with the same functions; however, only

the PT-2410 includes a carrying case and AC adaptor.)

Use only the adaptor designed exclusively for this machine. See GENERAL PRECAUTIONS on

page 4.
