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 labeler

off. Attempting to print with an empty tape cassette may damage the P-touch labeler.
