Precautions when installing tape cartridges
■
Tighten the ink ribbon
Insert a pencil or a similar tool into the hole of the tape cartridge and
turn it slightly toward the direction of the arrow. If the ink ribbon is not
tightened, it may come in contact with the printhead during installation.
This may bend or break the ink ribbon and damage the tape cartridge.
■
Install the tape cartridge properly
Insert the tape cartridge fully with its label side
up until the cartridge is secured by the fixing
tab of the main unit. When installing a new tape
cartridge or one with an extended tape end,
straighten the tape end and pass it through the
tape guide. If the tape cartridge is not installed
properly, tape may be bent or the tape
cartridges may pop out of the main unit during
printing. This may cause damage or the
malfunction of the tape cartridge.
■

After installing the tape cartridge, be sure to feed the tape by pressing the key and the
key at the same time. If the tape is not fed properly, tape may be bent or the tape
cartridges may pop out of the main unit during printing. This may cause damage or the
malfunction of the tape cartridge.
See "Feeding the tape" (p.24) .
