TAPE CASSETTE
A single TZ tape cassette is supplied with this unit. However, since TZ tape cassettes are
available for this machine in a wide variety of colors and sizes, it is possible to make dis-
tinctive color-coded and stylized labels.
In addition, this machine has been designed to allow you to change the tape 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 other tape cassette 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.
☞
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.
5 Close the compartment cover, then turn on the machine if it is off.
6 Hold down and press once to advance the tape and remove any
slack.
7 Push down on the tape cutter lever to cut off any excess tape.
