      • Verify that you've entered text and the tape cassette is correctly installed with enough tape. • If the tape is bent, trim the bent part and guide the tape through the exit slot. • In case of a tape jam, take out the cassette, remove the jammed tape, and cut it. Make sure the tape end goes through the guide before putting the cassette back in.
