Problem

Solution

The display stays blank after you
have turned on the machine.

• Check that the batteries are correctly inserted.
• If the batteries are weak, replace them.
• Check that the adapter is correctly connected.

The machine does not print, or the
printed characters are blurred.

• Check that the tape cassette has been inserted
correctly.
• If the tape cassette is empty, replace it.
• Check that the character size is appropriate for the
width of the tape that is used.

The printed characters are not
formed properly.

• If the batteries are weak, replace them.

Striped tape appears.

• The tape cassette is empty. Replace it.

The memory has cleared on its own.

• The batteries may be weak. Replace them.

A blank horizontal line appears
through the printed label.

• There may be some dust on the print head.
Remove the tape cassette and use a dry cotton
swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-anddown motion.
• The print head can be cleaned more easily if the
optional print head cleaning cassette (TZe-CL3) is
used.

The machine has “locked up” (i.e.,
nothing happens when a key is
pressed, even though the machine is
on).

• Turn off the machine, and then while holding down
f and d , press a to turn the machine back
on. Finally, release f and d.
Note: The text and formats in the display and all
text files stored in the memory are erased.
Also, the language and unit settings will be
cleared.
