3. Press SET to initialize the Label Printer or ESC to abort the operation without initializing anything.
• If you press SET, the initial reset screen appears.
• See “Initial Settings” for the initial default settings of the Label Printer following the reset operation.
Power On Recall Function
Whenever you switch your Label Printer off, it stores the text that is currently on the display.
Immediately after you switch power on, you can recall the last text displayed by pressing
SET.
Important!
You can recall text by pressing SET when the text input display is clear, immediately after switching power on only. Even if you input text and then delete it, pressing SET will not recall stored text.
Auto Power Off Function
If you do not perform any key operation for about six minutes, the Label Printer automatically switches power off. To restore power, press ON.
• After you restore power, you can recall the last text that you displayed by pressing SET.
See “Power On Recall Function” for details.
Tape Cartridges
Use the procedures described below to load tape cartridge into the Label Printer. After you load the tape cartridge, be sure to use the procedure described under “To specify the tape width” to tell the Label Printer what width of tape you are using.
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.
• Always make sure that Label Printer power is switched off before you replace the tape cartridge.
To load a tape cartridge
1. Make sure that the power of the Label Printer is switched off.
2. Press the tape cartridge compartment cover release and open the compartment cover.
• If there is a cartridge already installed in the unit, remove it by grasping the tape cartridge on both sides with your thumb and forefinger and lifting it straight up.

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.
Tape guide
• Make sure that the tape does not extend too far past the tape guide. If it does, cut off the end with a pair of scissors.
4. 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.
