Printing a Label
• Do not pull the label coming out of the tape exit slot. Doing so will cause the ink ribbon to
be discharged with the tape, making the tape no longer usable.
• Do not block the tape exit slot during printing or when feeding tape. Doing
so will cause the tape to jam.
• Be sure to check that there is enough tape remaining when printing several
labels continuously. If tape is running low, set fewer copies, print labels one
at a time, or replace the tape cassette.
• Striped tape indicates the end of the tape cassette. If this appears during
printing, press the Power key to turn the P-touch labeling system off.
Attempting to print with an empty tape cassette may damage the P-touch
labeling system.
