Storage
When the tape cassettes, fabric ribbon
cassettes and ink ribbon cassettes are not
being used, store them in their packaging.
When the fabric ribbon cassettes are not
being used, be sure to apply the lock to
secure the ribbon after removing the
cassette from the machine.
If the tape cassettes, fabric ribbon
cassettes and ink ribbon cassettes are not
stored in their packaging, they may
become dusty, resulting in blurred
printing.

cassettes, fabric ribbon cassettes and ink
ribbon cassettes are shown in the main
