Insert the tape cassette into the tape
compartment, with the end of the tape
facing the machine's tape exit slot, and
press firmly until you hear a click.

When inserting the tape cassette,
make sure that the tape and ink
ribbon do not catch on the print head.

• Make sure that the release lever is up when closing the tape compartment cover. The tape
compartment cover cannot be closed if the release lever is pressed down.
• Be sure to feed tape to remove any slack in the tape and ink ribbon after inserting the tape
cassette. Refer to "Feeding Tape" on page 22.
• 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.
• Store tape cassettes in a cool dark location, away from direct sunlight and high temperature,
high humidity, or dusty locations. Use the tape cassette as quickly as possible after opening
the sealed package.
