Tape Cartridges
Use the procedures described below to load a tape cartridge into the Label Printer.
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.
•
The following are the tape widths that can be used with this printer: 6mm,
9mm, 12mm, 18mm.
To load a tape cartridge
1. Make sure that the Label Printer is turned off.
2. Lift open the cover.
3. Remove the stopper from a new tape cartridge
and check to see that the tape is ready to use.
•
Make sure that the tape is under the tape guide and that it is not bent or
twisted.

Make sure that the tape does not extend too far
past the tape guide. If it does, cut off the end with
a pair of scissors.
