into the tape compartment, with the
end of the tape facing the machine's
tape exit slot. Press firmly down on the

When inserting the tape cassette,

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.
