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, by holding down the Shift key and pressing the Preview key.

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.
