Tape Cartridges

Use the procedures described below to load a tape cartridge into the Label

Printer.

Important!

• Never try to push the tape back into the cassette. Once tape is out of the

cassette, there is no way to wind it back in. Trying to do so can cause operational

problems with the Label Printer.

• The following are the tape widths that can be used with this printer: 6mm,

9mm, 12mm, 18mm.

To load a tape cartridge

1. Make sure that the Label Printer is turned off.

2. Open the back cover while pressing down on

its lock.

3. Remove the stopper from a new tape cartridge and check to see that the

tape is ready to use.

• Make sure that the tape is under the tape guide and that it is not bent or

twisted.

4. Pull the tape out about 3cm.

Important!

• Once tape is pulled out, there is no way to get it

back into the cartridge.

• Never use excessive force when pulling on the

tape. Doing so can cause the ink ribbon to break,

creating the risk of malfunction.

3. Release the PRINT, SPACE, and ON/OFF keys.

4. Press SET to initialize the Label Printer or ESC to abort the reset operation

without initializing anything.

The tape width selection screen appears after initialization is complete.

5. Use z and x to select the width of the tape you will use and then press

SET.

Display Language Setting

You can select English, German, French, Italian, or Spanish as the language to

be used for display messages. For information about how to change the language

setting, see page E-22.

Auto Power Off Function

If you do not perform any key operation for about six minutes, the Label Printer

automatically turns power off. To restore power, press ON/OFF.

Retrieving a Sentence from Memory

If power is turned off or if Auto Power Off is triggered while you are creating a

sentence, the sentence that was being created is saved temporarily in printer

memory. The next time you turn on power, the message “[SET] TO RECALL” will

appear. Pressing SET will display the sentence currently stored in memory.

* A sentence being created with Layout Printing cannot be restored.

NO!

OK!

• Shift indicator

This indicator appears when you press the SHIFT key. While this indicator is on

the display, the keyboard is shifted, so the letter keys input upper-case alpha

characters. The number keys input the punctuation symbols marked in the upper

right corners of the keys.

If both the caps mode indicator and the shift indicator are shown on the display,

the keyboard is shifted to lower-case input.

The keyboard automatically unshifts (and the shift indicator disappears) as soon

as you input a character.

• Code indicator

This indicator appears when you press the CODE key. While this indicator is on

the display, number keys 1 through 0 input the accents marked above them and

the U, O, P, A, S, J, K, L, Z, C and N keys input the special characters marked

in their lower right corners.

The keyboard automatically returns to normal (and the code indicator disappears)

as soon as you input an accent.

• Caps indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is in the caps (upper-case) mode.

All letters you input in the caps mode are upper-case. When the caps mode

indicator is not shown on the display, all letters are input as lower-case.

Note that the Label Printer stays in the caps mode until you press the CAPS

key again.

If both the caps mode indicator and the shift indicator are shown on the display,

the keyboard is shifted to lower-case input.

• Style indicators

These indicators point to the character style that is currently in use. You can

select between normal, bold, and outline.

• Effect indicators

These indicators point to the character effect that is currently in use. You can

select between shading, underline, and box.

• Mirror image printing indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is set up for mirror image printing.

Normal (non mirror image) printing is performed when this indicator is not shown.

• Tape indicator

Indicates the currently selected tape width.

• Cursor

The cursor shows the next input position. Any character you input appears at

the point where the cursor is located.

• Character position marks

These marks show where characters will appear as you input them. This part of

the display is always blank when you turn power on.

Basic Alpha-Numeric Input

The following operation shows you the basic procedures for inputting letters

and numbers. We will explain the procedure by inputting the following characters

using the default initial power-on screen.

ABXYZ Computer Company

Note

• If you hold down any key, it will repeat its operation or input at high speed until

you release it.

To input alpha-numeric characters

1. Turn power on.

2. Input the first line of characters.

• To input the upper-case letters, you can use either SHIFT or CAPS. With

SHIFT you must shift the keyboard for each character. With CAPS the keyboard

stays in upper-case until you press CAPS again.

• Press SPACE to input spaces.

• If you input a wrong character, press BS to delete it and input again. See

page E-14 for other details on editing text.

5. 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.

6. Load the tape cartridge into the Label Printer, making sure that the tape and

ink ribbon pass between the head and roller.

7. Close the back cover.

8. Turn on Label Printer power and press FUNC and then 7 (FEED) two or

three times to make sure that the tape comes out without any problem.

• If the tape does not come out normally, turn off power and start again from

step 1 above.

Part 3 Inputting Characters and Symbols

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.

For information on using other character styles, effects and sizes, see page E-15.

Important!

• You can input up to 80 characters per label. Further input becomes impossible

after you input the 80th character.
