Problem

Solution

The ink ribbon 
is separated 
from the ink 
roller.

If the ink ribbon is broken, replace the Tape 
Cassette. If not, leave the tape uncut and 
remove the Tape Cassette, then wind the loose 
ink ribbon back onto the spool.

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

• Check that the end of the tape feeds under 

the Tape Guide.

• The Tape Cutter Lever is pressed while 

printing. Do not touch the Tape Cutter Lever 
during printing.

While printing, 
striped tape 
appears.

The Tape Cassette is empty. Insert a new Tape 
Cassette.

All text and 
format settings 
need to be 
cleared to 
create a new 
label.

Press 

 

and select [

Text & Format

].

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 Print Head can be cleaned more easily if 

the optional Print Head Cleaning Cassette 
(TZe-CL4) is used.
