Lost directions I lost the instruction sheet on how to install a new ink tape. It keeps wraping itself around wheel before cutter

You pull off the tape that keeps the ink form leaking before you install the cartridge or it will not print.

It depends on the make and model of the vehicle but typically u need a new cd player dash kit for the vehicle wiring harness adapter specific to the vehicle a screw driver wire cutters and electrical tape

yes you simply tape it back on

This machine uses the Brother TZ tape, which is available in a variety of colors and three widths (1/4" (6mm), 3/8" (9mm) and 1/2" (12mm)). A TZ tape is supplied with this machine.

1 Press in on the rough area at the top end of the machine and fold open the back cover. Should be the exact process as loading batteries.

2 If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it
straight up.

3 If the ink ribbon in the other tape cassette is loose, use your finger to wind the toothed wheel in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until there is no slack in the ribbon. Also, make sure that the end of the tape feeds under the tape guides. Note: If you are using a new tape cassette provided with a stopper, be sure to remove the stopper.

4 Insert the tape cassette firmly into the compartment, making sure that the entire back of the cassette contacts the bottom of the compartment. Note: When inserting a tape cassette, make sure that the inner ribbon does not catch on the corner of the metal guide.

5 Securely close the back cover, making sure that it snaps into place.

6 Feed the tape by holding down CODE and pressing PRINT once, and then push in the tape cutter lever to cut the tape.

You can also get a copy of the user's guide here.

Bad or mis-installed ink cartridge. Open the printer and remove the ink. Clean around the ink carriage and the under the ink with alcohol and a cotton swab. Pay special attention to areas with copper contacts. If the printer has a cleaning option either on the printer itself through the menuing system or on the machine through the print driver, you can use that afterwards. Some printers will let you re-run the cleaning utility several times. Keep in mind too that some printers will not print, even with full ink, if the exact type of ink it expects you to have is not installed. This will give a similar error. Double check that the ink is correct against the manual or written instructions inside the printer. Not every cartridge that fits the printer necessarily works.

Usually the new cartridges come taped at places where the
ink is supposed to come out of, for shipping purposes.

Before installing you should have removed all those
tapes. There may be in more than one place per
cartridge too. Your little cartridge instruction booklet
should show you where they are and how to remove them

From what you are saying I suspect you did not
remove those prior to installing?

I am getting mine from
http://www.inkfilling.com
and they come with instructions as above.

If you did remove them then you may have not
installed the cartridges correctly perhaps did not
place them completely in their socket.

If you did then you must have something clogged
possibly printhead but i doubt that, most likely to be
one of the above.

my printer only printed 1 page out of 3 so now it wont stop. it pulls the paper in and comes out blank. this will keep going unless i turn it off. how do i reset my printer?

On the front of the cartridge there is a sight tube for the ink, the fax shines a light through this tube to detect the ink.
I wraped a piece of paper around the tube to block the light beam on all the cartridges.
I dont need a processer to tell me if the machine is out of ink, I can work thay out when it stops printing!!
Now tell me you are out of ink you peice of electronic ****.

Printer is fairly new....have changed the inks once.....lost the
book, I guess,,,,,anyway, I THOUGHT I changed the black also,
but I have no black ink. I got a new cartridge, but don't know
how to install it......menu?? instructions? feel ignorant???
