3. Operating Instructions

Once the tape cassette is loaded into your DYMO LetraTag label maker, you can begin creating labels. The process generally involves typing your desired text, printing the label, and then applying it.

1. Create Label Text: Use the keyboard on your LetraTag label maker to type the text you wish to print on the label.
2. Adjust Formatting (Optional): Depending on your label maker model, you may have options to adjust font size, style (bold, italic), frames, or other formatting. Refer to your label maker's manual for specific instructions.
3. Print Label: Press the print button on your label maker. The label will be printed and dispensed from the device.
4. Cut Label: Use the integrated cutter on your label maker to cleanly cut the printed label from the tape roll.
5. Peel and Apply: The DYMO Authentic LT Plastic Labeling Tape features an easy-peel split back. Bend the label slightly along its length to separate the backing paper, then peel it away. Carefully apply the label to a clean, dry, and smooth surface. Press firmly along the entire length of the label to ensure good adhesion.

4. Maintenance

The DYMO Authentic LT Plastic Labeling Tape is designed for durability and ease of care.

• Cleaning Labels: The clear plastic labels are wipeable. If a label becomes dirty, it can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which may damage the label or print.
• Tape Storage: Store unused tape cassettes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the adhesive quality and tape integrity.
• Handling: Avoid touching the adhesive side of the tape before application to ensure optimal stickiness.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your DYMO Authentic LT Plastic Labeling Tape, consider the following common solutions:

• Label Not Sticking:
  • Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Dust, grease, or moisture can prevent proper adhesion.
  • Apply firm, even pressure across the entire label when applying.
  • Verify that the protective backing has been fully removed from the label.
• Faded or Incomplete Print:
  • Check if the tape cassette is correctly inserted into the label maker. Re-insert if necessary.
  • Ensure the label maker's batteries are not low, as this can affect print quality.
  • Clean the print head of your label maker according to its specific instruction manual.
• Tape Jamming:
  • Open the label maker's tape compartment and carefully remove the cassette. Clear any jammed tape.
  • Ensure the tape is not twisted or creased before inserting the cassette.
• Label Maker Not Recognizing Tape:
  • Confirm that you are using an authentic DYMO LetraTag tape cassette, as specified for your label maker model.
  • Re-insert the cassette firmly.
