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.
1 Press the cover release button, and then lift
open the tape compartment cover.
2 If a tape cassette is already installed and
you wish to replace it, remove it by pulling
it straight out.
3 If 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.
4 Insert the tape cassette firmly into the com-
partment, making sure that the entire back
of the cassette touches the bottom of the
compartment.
.
5 Close 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.
6 Press once to remove any slack in the
tape and cut off the excess.
NOTE
When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the
ink ribbon does not catch on the corner of the
metal guide.
