Use only Stanley STZ or Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use any other
tapes.
Tapes are available in three different widths: 1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm) and 1/2” (12

Do not pull the tape since this may damage the tape cassette.
Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the
tape.
Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use only a soft, dry
cloth.
A tape cassette is supplied with this unit. Stanley STZ or Brother TZ tapes used with this
machine are available in a variety of colors and three tape widths (1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9
mm) and 1/2” (12 mm)).
