Installing a TZ tape cassette

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

A TZ tape cassette is supplied with this P-touch. TZ tape cassettes are available for this machine in a wide variety of colors and sizes, making it possible to make distinctive color-coded and stylized labels. In addition, this machine has been designed to allow you to change the tape cassettes quickly and easily.

1Press the cover release button, and then lift open the tape compartment cover.

2If a tape cassette is already installed and you wish to replace it, remove it by pulling it straight out.

3If the ink ribbon is loose in the tape cassette to be installed, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the ribbon. Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides.

4Insert the tape cassette firmly into the com- partment, making sure that the entire back of the cassette touches the bottom of the compartment.

NOTE

When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the ink ribbon does not catch on the corner of the metal guide.

5Close the compartment cover and press the

power supply key ( ) to turn on the machine if it is off. The width of the cur- rently installed tape is shown by the tape width indicator on the right edge of the dis- play.
