4. Use a pencil or some other thin object to take
up slack in the ink ribbon as shown in the
illustration. Note that the tape does not move at
this time.
• If the ink ribbon is slack when you load it into the
Label Printer, it can break or cause some other
problem.
• Be sure to turn the ink ribbon take up spool only
in the direction indicated by the arrow (a).
• Turn the spool until the other spool (b) starts
turning in the direction noted by the arrow. This
indicates there is no slack in the ribbon.

indicated by the arrow.
• If there is a cartridge already in the Label Printer,
remove it by grasping the cartridge on both sides
with your thumb and forefinger, and lift straight
up.

making sure that the tape and ink ribbon pass
between the head and roller.

direct sunlight. These conditions can cause discoloration of the tape.
• When storing a cartridge, re-attach its stopper, and insert the cartridge in its
original plastic bag and box.
This part of the manual tells you how to input characters. To make things easier to
understand, we call everything you input a character, regardless of whether it is
actually a letter, number, or symbol. Explanations here all use the default settings
that are in effect from the initial power-on screen.
(a)
For information on using other character styles, effects and sizes, see page E-13.
