Printing a Label
• 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, making the tape no longer usable.
• Do not block the tape exit slot during printing or when feeding tape. Doing so will
cause the tape to jam.
• Be sure to check that there is enough tape remaining when
printing several labels continuously. If tape is running low, set
fewer copies, print labels one at a time, or replace the tape
cassette.
• Striped tape indicates the end of the tape cassette. If this appears
during printing, press the Power key to turn the P-touch labeler
off. Attempting to print with an empty tape cassette may damage the P-touch labeler.
