  • In some isolate cases the tape cassette is bound and will not advance the tape. It is recommended that the cassette be replaced.

 

How to replace the tape cassette:

 

  1. Remove the back cover by pressing in on the rough area at the top end of the machine and pulling off the back cover.

  2. Make sure that the end of the tape in the new cassette feeds under the tape guides.

  3. Insert the new tape cassette until it clicks into place.

    Check that the cassette fits properly around the two metal guides in the cassette compartment.

  5. Feed the tape by holding down the [Code] key and pressing the [Feed] key, and then cut the tape by pressing in on the tape cutter button.
