Feeding 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. The tape may no longer be functional after the ink ribbon
discharges.
• Do not block the tape exit slot during printing or when feeding tape. Doing so will cause the tape
to jam.
