      • Make sure that you have entered text and that the tape cassette is correctly installed and contains sufficient tape. • If the tape is bent, cut off the bent section and thread the tape through the tape exit slot. • If the tape is jammed, remove the tape cassette, pull out the jammed tape, and cut it. Before reinstalling the tape cassette, ensure the end of the tape passes through the tape guide.
