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.
• 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 or print labels one at a time.
• Striped tape indicates the end of the tape cassette. If this appears during printing, press the
key to turn the P-touch off. Continuing printing may cause damage.
