GETTING STARTED – Installing a Label Cartridge
1. If the new label cartridge has a
cardboard stopper, be sure to remove
the stopper before inserting the
cassette.
2. Check that the end of the tape is not
bent and it passes through the tape
guide at least ½ inch, also make sure
that the ink ribbon is wound tight.
(see photo).
3. After making sure that the power is off,
place the P-touch printer on a flat surface and open the rear cover. If there is
already a tape cassette in the P-touch, remove it by pulling it straight up.
4. Insert the label cartridge into the compartment with the end of the tape
protruding out of the P-touch printer tape
exit slot and press firmly until you hear it
click.
When inserting the label cartridge, make
sure that the tape and ribbon do not
catch on the print head. If there is slack in the tape, pull the tape
through the tape guide.
5. Close the rear cover.
6. DO NOT PULL THE LABEL WHILE IT IS COMING OUT OF THE
PRINTER. DOING SO WILL CAUSE THE INK RIBBON TO PULL OUT OF
THE EXIT SLOT AND TO BE CUT WHEN THE LABEL IS CUT. THIS
WILL CAUSE THE LABEL CARTRIDGE TO NO LONGER FUNCTION.
