Feeding Tape

The Feed & Cut function feeds 0.89" (22.5 mm) of blank tape then cuts the tape.

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

• 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.

• Do not block the tape exit slot during printing or when feeding tape. Doing so will cause the tape to jam.
