Brother P-touch PT-18R Guía De Usario página 26

GETTING STARTED
1
Check that the end of the tape is not bent and
that it passes through the tape guide.
2
After making sure that the power is off, press on the
back cover opening grip and open the back cover.
If there is already a tape cassette in the P-touch,
remove it by pulling it straight up.
3
Insert the tape cassette into the tape compartment,
with the end of the tape facing the P-touch's tape
exit slot, and press firmly until you hear a click.
When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that
the tape and ink ribbon do not catch on the print
head.
4
Close the back cover.
• Make sure that the release lever is up when closing the back cover. The back cover cannot be
closed if the release lever is pressed down.
• Be sure to feed tape to remove any slack in the tape and ink ribbon after inserting the tape
cassette. Refer to "Feeding Tape" on page 22.
• Do not pull the label coming out of the tape exit slot. Doing so will cause the ink ribbon
to be discharged with the tape.
• Store tape cassettes in a cool dark location, away from direct sunlight and high temperature,
high humidity, or dusty locations. Use the tape cassette as quickly as possible after opening
the sealed package.
