Is there a technique to properly align the tape path on this unit, or
is it a trial and error thing? The tape on my machine is riding on
the first guide (not fully in the slot intended for the tape) a
little, so I am thinking of lowering the left tape reel slightly until
the tape sits properly in its guide, then adjusting the right tape
reel with the use of a straight edge across the now aligned left reel.
Is this the way to do it?



That might work, but you first need to determine if the guide is set up
correctly.

When the table height is correct, the tape should spool from the supply/takeup
reels and not touch either of the tqape flanges.

I believe that the table height is set by some screws accessible whrn the front
cover is off the machine.
