Do not install the wrong type of cassette
The printer can print on tube, clear tube, label tape, heat shrink tube, wrap around tape,
plate, and 4mm I.D. strip, but each requires a different type of cassette. Loading a wrong
type of cassette makes it impossible to print characters properly.
When printing on tube or plate
Install the ribbon cassette and tube attachment in the machine.
If the wrap around tape guide or media cassette is already installed, remove it rst.
Note that the attachment does not come with tube or plate; they must be purchased
separately.
When printing on label tape, heat shrink tube or 4mm I.D. strip
Install the ribbon cassette and the appropriate cassette in the machine.
The wrap around tape guide and attachment are not used, so if they are already installed,
remove them rst.
When printing on wrap around tape
Install the ribbon cassette, the wrap around tape cassette and wrap around tape guide in the
machine. The tube attachment is not used, so if it is already installed, remove it rst.
What to do if the label tape becomes stuck inside the cassette
Ordinarily, the tip of the label tape protrudes from the cassette as shown in Fig. 1, but
sometimes the label tape becomes wound all the way into the cassette, as shown in Fig.
2. In this case, pull the label tape out as shown in Fig. 3. If you do not pull the label tape
out before installing the cassette, the message “Start of media not detect.” appears and the
printer can not print. This message can be cleared by pressing [Canc].
