- Stand the cassette on a flat surface as illustrated in the diagram.
- The cassette is heavy when loaded. Hold it with both hands to prevent dropping.
- Do not touch the retransfer/inked face (the side facing outward when installed) with your hand, as this may cause printing errors. Wear the supplied gloves when handling the retransfer film/ink ribbon.
