TZ tape cassettes are available for this machine in a wide variety of types, colors and sizes,
enabling you to make distinctive color-coded labels and stylized stamps. AV label cassettes
are also available for expanded addressing and filing capabilities. This machine has been
designed to allow you to change cassettes quickly and easily.
To change the tape cassette:
1 Lift open the tape compartment cover. The installed cassette is also released.
2 If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up.
3 If the ink ribbon in the tape cassette to be installed is loose, use your finger to wind the
toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the
ribbon. Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides
(for TZ tape
only).
☞ For stamp and AV label cassettes, the tightening of the ink ribbon does not apply,
since they are not equipped with ink ribbons.
If you are using a new tape cassette provided with a stopper, be sure to remove the
stopper.
4 Insert the tape cassette firmly into the tape compartment, making sure that the entire back
of the cassette touches the bottom of the compartment.
☞ When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on
the corner of the metal guide (for TZ tape only).
5 Close the compartment cover, and then turn on the machine, if it is off.
6 Hold down c and press r once to advance the tape and remove any slack (for TZ
tape only).
☞ Skip this step if an AV label cassette is being installed.
