Inserting a Tape Cassette

Insert the tape cassette into the tape 
compartment, with the end of the tape 
facing the machine's tape exit slot, and 
press firmly until you hear a click.

Close the tape compartment cover.

When inserting the tape cassette, 
make sure that the tape and ink 
ribbon do not catch on the print head.

• Make sure that the release lever is up when closing the tape compartment cover. The tape 

compartment cover cannot be closed if the release lever is pressed down.

• Be sure to feed tape to remove any slack in the tape and ink ribbon after inserting the tape 

cassette. Refer to "Feeding Tape" on page 22.

• 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.

• Store tape cassettes in a cool dark location, away from direct sunlight and high temperature, 

high humidity, or dusty locations. Use the tape cassette as quickly as possible after opening 
the sealed package.
