ERROR MESSAGE LIST

TROUBLESHOOTING

ERROR An error occurred.

BATTERY The batteries are weak.

B

A T T E R Y The batteries are empty.

FULL

The maximum number of characters (55 characters)

have already been entered or the memory is full.

LONG TXT The text length exceeds the selected label length.

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.

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-and-

down motion.

• The print head can be cleaned more easily if the

optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-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.
