Note
Ensure the Cassette Tube is oriented as shown to avoid the Cassettes spilling out of the Tube.

Use a finger to hold the Cassettes in the Cassette Tube and then turn it upside down so that the open end
of the Cassette Tube is at the bottom.

Lower the Cassette Tube into the open top of the Hopper, being sure to keep a finger on the bottom for as
long as possible; there is a Loading Slot provided for this purpose.

Remove finger from the Loading Slot and allow the Cassettes to fall into position as shown.

The Cassette Tube should sit on a step about half-way down the Hopper.
Failure to ensure cassettes are properly loaded can cause the hopper to jam.
Ensure that the end of the cassette tube is not damaged or deformed as this may cause jams.
