Changing the tape cassette
1 Lift open the tape compartment cover. The
installed cassette is also released.
2 If a tape cassette is already installed, remove
it by pulling it straight up.
3 If the ink ribbon in the tape cassette to be
installed is loose, 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 guide.
If you are inserting a new tape cassette
provided with a stopper, be sure to
remove the stopper.
4 Insert the tape cassette firmly into the tape
compartment, making sure that the entire
back of the cassette touches the bottom of
the compartment.
When inserting the tape cassette, make
sure that the ink ribbon does not catch on
the corner of the metal guide.
5 Securely close the tape compartment cover.
