    • There is a plastic tab located on the back of the label maker near the top. The tab has ridges on it to help you identify where to press. Push on this tab to release the back of the label maker.

    • Align and insert a new tape cassette. Make sure the center of the cassette snaps into place. The tape must feed between the tape guides.

    • If the ribbon has become too loose, use your finger to turn the white wheel in the direction of the arrow on the tape cassette. This will wind up any excess tape.

    • Only use Brother TZ tapes with this machine.

    The white wheel in the center does not feed the tape. I keep hearing a motorized “click-click” noise like it wants to turn the wheel to feed the tape, but it tries to turn, but can’t. Is it possible the motor or gear underneath the white wheel is no longer functional or possibly damaged?
