Ch. 2 Getting Started P-touch 3600: P-touch 3600: Getting Started 2 If a tape cassette is already installed and you wish to replace it, remove it by pulling it straight up. 3 If the ink ribbon is loose in the tape cassette to be installed, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the ribbon. Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides. NOTE ☞ For stamp and AV label cassettes, the tightening of the ink ribbon does not apply, since they are not equipped with ink ribbons. ☞ If you are using a new tape cassette provided with a stopper, be sure to remove the stopper. 4 Insert the tape cassette firmly into the tape compartment, making sure that the entire back of the cassette touches the bottom of the compartment. NOTE When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on the corner of the metal guide.
