Casio KL-8100 manual Removing the Tape Cartridge

Page 7

•If there is a cartridge already in the label printer, remove it by grasping the cartridge on both sides with your thumb and forefinger, and lift straight up. 3. Remove the stopper from a new tape cartridge and check to see that the tape is ready to use.

4. Check to make sure that the end of the tape is not bent.

•If the end of the tape is bent, use scissors to cut off the bent portion.

5. Make sure that the tape is under the tape guide and that it is not bent or twisted.

•Make sure the end of the tape is passing through the tape guide. If it isn’t, pass the end of the tape through the tape guide as shown in the illustration. 6. Pull out about 3cm (11/8") of tape.

•Never try to force tape back into the cartridge once it is pulled out.

•Do not pull on the tape too hard. Doing so can break the ink ribbon and result in malfunction.

7. Use a pencil or some other thin object to take up slack in the ink ribbon as shown in the illustration. Note that the tape does not move at this time.

•If the ink ribbon is slack when you load it into the label printer, it can break or cause some other problem.

•Be sure to turn the ink ribbon take up spool only in the direction indicated by the arrow (a).

•Turn the spool until the other spool (b) starts turning in the direction noted by the arrow. This indicates there is no slack in the ribbon.

8. Load the tape cartridge into the label printer, making sure that the tape and ink ribbon pass between the head and roller.

•Be sure to lower the tape cartridge straight down into the label printer, and press down on it until it clicks securely into place.

9.Close the cover and operate the tape cut lever to cut off the tape.

10.Turn on label printer power and press FUNC and then PRINT (FEED) two or three times to make sure that the tape comes out without any problem.

• If the tape does not come out normally, turn off power and start again from step 1 above.

Removing the Tape Cartridge

•Grasp the tape cartridge with your fingers as shown in the illustration, and lift it straight up out of the label printer.

•To make it easier to remove a narrow (6mm, 9mm) tape cartridge, insert a pencil or some other thin, pointed object under the right side of the tape and lift up, as shown in the illustration.
