Problem

Solution

The display 
stays blank 
after you have 
turned on the 
machine.

• Check that you installed the batteries with the 

positive and negative ends in the correct 
position.

• If the batteries are low, replace them with six 

new AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use old 
and new batteries together or mix alkaline 
batteries with other battery types.

• Check that you connected the AD-24ES/AD-

5000ES: For Australia, New Zealand only 
adapter correctly.

When the label 
is printed out, 
there is too 
much margin 
(space) on both 
sides of the text.

See “Setting Margin” in this user's guide and 
select [Half] or [Narrow] to have smaller 
margins for your label.

The machine 
does not print, 
or the printed 
characters are 
not formed 
correctly.

• Check that you have inserted the tape 

cassette correctly.

• If the tape cassette is empty, replace it.
• Check that you closed the cassette cover 

correctly.

The machine's 
settings have 
reset 
themselves.

• The batteries may be low. Replace them with 

six new AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use old 
and new batteries together or mix alkaline 
batteries with other battery types.

• When power is disconnected for more than 

three minutes, all text and formats in the 
display are lost.

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 with an up-
and-down motion. The optional print head 
cleaning cassette (TZe-CL3) is also available.

The machine 
has “locked up” 
(that is, nothing 
happens when 
a key is 
pressed, even 
though the 
machine is on.)

See “Resetting the machine”.

The power 
turns off when 
you try to print.

• The batteries may be low. Replace them with 

six new AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use old 
and new batteries together or mix alkaline 
batteries with other battery types.

• Check that you inserted the batteries correctly.
• A wrong adapter is used; the recommended 

adapter is the AD-24ES/AD-5000ES: For 
Australia, New Zealand only.

The tape does 
not feed 
correctly or the 
tape gets stuck 
inside the 
machine.

• Check that the end of the tape feeds under 

the tape guides.

• The cutter lever is pressed while printing. Do 

not touch the cutter lever during printing.

To change the 
language 
setting.

See "Initial Settings".
