When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on the corner of the metal guide.

Turn the stick three-quarters of a turn towards you and pull the stick away from you as shown below. Peel off the label backing. NON-LAMINATED TAPE Labels printed on non-laminated tapes can be folded in half so that the inside edges of the two backing pieces come off the label, enabling the backing to easily be peeled off.
