STAMP TAPE

Refer to pages 38 through 40 for a detailed explanation on using the stamp tape to make stamps.

PRINT HEAD & ROLLERS

Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machine’s print head and rollers. This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very dusty environment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a blank horizontal streak may appear through the label text. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the machine’s head may need to be cleaned from time to time.

To clean the print head and rollers:

1Turn off the machine.

2Open the tape compartment cover, then remove the tape cassette if one is installed. The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment.

3Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-and-down motion.

Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion while rotating them with your finger.

4Install a tape cassette, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing again.

5If a blank streak still appears in the label, repeat steps 3 and 4 using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

If none of the above works, contact your service representative.

The print head can be cleaned more easily if the optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL4) is used.
