- Insert a 9mm embossing tape roll into the compartment, ensuring the tape feeds through the guide slot. The tape should be positioned so that the adhesive side faces down when exiting the device.
- Close the front cover until it clicks into place.
- Before printing, align the '|||' symbol on the character dial with the indicator mark on the device. This ensures proper tape feeding and character alignment.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Phomemo E975, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Characters are misaligned or unclear. | Dial rotated too quickly; insufficient pressure on handle. | Rotate the character dial slowly and deliberately. Ensure you apply firm, consistent pressure to the handle when embossing each character. |
| Tape jams or does not feed properly. | Incorrect tape loading; tape twisted; debris in tape path. | Open the tape compartment and re-load the tape, ensuring it is flat and correctly aligned. Check for and remove any debris. |
| Cutter is not working or tape is not cut cleanly. | Cutter mechanism obstructed; insufficient force when cutting. | Check the cutter area for any tape residue or obstructions and carefully remove them. Ensure you press the handle fully and quickly to activate the cutter. |
| No character is embossed when pressing the handle. | No character selected; tape not loaded correctly. | Ensure a character is clearly selected and centered under the indicator. Verify that the tape is loaded correctly and feeding through the mechanism. |
