Brother 580C - Manual (Page 16)

A single TZ tape cassette is supplied with this unit. However, since TZ tape cas-
settes and multi-color ink and tape cassettes are available for this machine in a
wide variety of colors and sizes, it is possible to make distinctive color-coded and
stylized labels.
In addition, this machine has been designed to allow you to change the tape
cassettes quickly and easily.
TO INSERT A TZ TAPE CASSETTE
(1) Press down on the cover release button and lift open the compartment
cover.
(2) If there is a cassette already in the compartment, remove it by pulling it
straight up.
(3) Remove the stopper from a new tape cassette and if the ink ribbon in the
cassette is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction
of the arrow on the tape cassette until the ribbon is taut. If you are using an
old tape cassette, be sure the ribbon is taut before inserting it into the unit.
(4) Insert the tape cassette firmly into the compartment, making sure that the
entire back of the cassette contacts 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.
(5) Close the compartment cover, then turn on the machine if necessary.
(6) Press the FEED key once to advance the tape and remove any slack.
(7) Push down on the tape cutter lever to cut off the excess tape.
