remove the rechargeable battery.

wipe up and down along the print head.
Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe up
and down along each roller while rotating
them with your finger.
4 Install a tape cassette, close the tape com-
partment cover, and then try printing again.
5 If a blank streak still appears in the printed
label, repeat steps 2 through 4 using a
cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing)

If none of the above works, contact your service
representative.
