manual abstract
Do not use tapes that do not have the mark. • Tapes are available in three different widths: 1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm) and 1/2” (12 mm). • Do not pull the tape since this may damage the tape cassettes. • Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape. • Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use only a soft, dry cloth. • Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the machine for an extended period of time. Note: If power is disconnected for more than three minutes, all text shown in the display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost. • Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine. • Do not expose the machine to high temperatures or high humidity. Never leave it on the dashboard or in the back of your car. • Do not use the machine in dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain. • Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause staining. • After inserting a new tape cassette, advance the tape by holding down and pressing once. • Do not touch the print head mechanism. If the head is touched, clean it immediately with a soft wipe (e.g., a cotton swab) to avoid permanent damage. • To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter’s edge. • To prevent damage during shipment, a clear protective sheet is placed over the LCD panel. Remove this clear protective sheet before beginning use. POWER SUPPLY Changing the batteries CAUTION Batteries installed incorrectly can overheat and leak.
