Troubleshooting
Find the problem you are experiencingDisplay stays blankView
Check battery polarity and replace low alkaline cells as a complete set of six, without mixing types or ages. Check the AD-24ES adapter connection if used.
Printed labels have too much marginView
Choose Half or Narrow in Setting Margin. Chain Print can reduce repeated margins when making several labels.
Label does not print or characters are malformedView
Seat the tape cassette correctly, replace an empty cassette, and close the cassette cover securely.
Settings clear on their ownView
Replace weak batteries as a complete matched set. Text and formatting are lost after power has been disconnected for more than three minutes.
A blank horizontal line crosses the labelView
Remove the cassette and gently clean the print head with a dry cotton swab in an up-and-down motion. The optional TZe-CL3 cleaning cassette is another documented option.
Label maker stops respondingView
Reset only when you are ready to erase all text, settings and stored files. Switch off, hold Shift and R, then hold Power to switch on. Release Power first, then Shift and R.
Power turns off when printing startsView
Check battery orientation, replace weak alkaline batteries with six matched new cells, and use the recommended AD-24ES adapter if operating from mains power.
Tape will not feed or jamsView
Check that the tape end runs beneath the tape guides. Leave the cutter lever untouched during printing.
Display uses the wrong languageView
Open Menu, choose Language, select the desired language and press OK.
