Tape cassettes of 0.13", 0.23", 0.35", 0.47", 0.70" or 0.94" (3.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm,
18mm or 24mm) width can be used in your P-touch labeler. Use only Brother tape cassettes
with the
mark.
Check that the end of the tape is not bent and that it passes
through the tape guide. If the tape is not passed through,
pass it through the tape guide referring to the illustration.

After making sure that the power is off, open the rear cover. If
there is already a tape cassette in the P-touch labeler, remove
it by pulling it straight up.
Insert the tape cassette into the tape
compartment, with the end of the tape facing the
P-touch labeler's tape exit slot, and press firmly
until you hear a click.

• When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the tape and ink ribbon do not
catch on the print head.
• Make sure that there is no slack in the tape,
and then carefully insert the tape cassette.
If there is slack in the tape, the tape will
catch on the protrusion (2) when the
cassette is inserted and become bent or
wrinkled, causing the tape to jam.
To fix the slack in the tape, pull the tape
through the tape guide referring to the
illustration in the step 1.
