Tape Cartridges

Use the procedures described below to load a tape cartridge into the label printer. The label printer automatically detects what size tape is loaded.

Important! Never try to push the tape back into the cassette. Once tape is out of the cassette, there is no way to wind it back in. Trying to do so can cause operational problems with the label printer.

To load a tape cartridge

1.Make sure the label printer is turned off.

2.Press the cover release and open the cover.

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.
