If the device alerts an error during cutting, check the exit slot. A visual check usually reveals the trapped piece of tape blocking the blade movement.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Remove the TZe tape cassette from the unit.
  2. Inspect the cutting slot for adhesive scraps or bent tape edges.
  3. Carefully remove debris using non-metallic tweezers.
  4. Check that the cutter button operates smoothly again.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid forcing the cutter if the tape feels stuck. Clean the blade slot with a dry cloth periodically to remove accumulated adhesive from the labels.

If the error persists after clearing the channel, the internal spring mechanism of the cutter may need service.
