TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Remedy
1. The display stays blank after you
have turned on the machine.
• Check that the AC adaptor is connected
correctly.
• If you are using alkaline batteries, check
that they are correctly inserted.
• If the batteries are low, replace them.
2. The machine does not print or the
printed characters are blurred.
• Check that the tape cassette has been
inserted properly.
• If the tape cassette is empty, replace it
with a new one.
• Make sure that the tape cassette cover
has been closed.
3. The printed characters are not
formed properly.
• If you are using alkaline batteries, they
may be low. Try using the AC adaptor.
4. A blank horizontal line appears
through the printed label.
• There may be some dust on the print
head. Remove the tape cassette and use
a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the
print head (see page 9) with an up-and-
down motion.
• If dust still remains, dip the cotton swab
in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and gen­
tly wipe the print head again.
5. Striped tape appears. • You have reached the end of the tape.
Replace the tape cassette with a new
one.
6. The machine has "locked up" (i.e. it
does not respond when a key is
pressed).
• Turn off the machine, then while hold­
ing down and turn the
machine back on. The text and formats
in the display and all text files stored in
the memory are erased.
