Solution
A label will not print if there is no
text entered.
Check that the tape cassette is
installed correctly, and that there is
enough tape remaining.
If bent, cut the bent section of tape
with scissors and thread the tape
through the tape exit slot correctly.
If jammed, remove the tape
cassette, carefully pull out the
jammed tape, and then cut the tape
with scissors. Check that the end of
the tape passes through the tape
guide, and reinstall the tape
cassette.
If so, close the tape compartment
cover correctly.
