4. Operating Principles

6. Maintenance and Storage

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MakeID label tape refills and printed labels, consider the following:

• Storage: Store unused tape refills in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the adhesive quality and prevents degradation of the tape material.
• Handling: Avoid touching the adhesive side of the tape to maintain its stickiness.
• Cleaning: If labels become dirty, gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the label surface or print.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your MakeID L1-C Label Maker Tape Refills, consider the following:

• Tape Not Feeding: Ensure the tape cassette is correctly installed and that approximately 15 cm of tape has been pulled out before closing the compartment. Check for any obstructions in the tape path.
• Poor Print Quality: Verify that the smart chip on the cassette is not damaged, as this can affect the printer's ability to recognize the tape. Ensure your label maker's print head is clean (refer to your label maker's manual for cleaning instructions).
• Labels Not Sticking: Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Extreme temperatures or textured surfaces may affect adhesion.
• Compatibility Issues: Confirm that you are using MakeID L1-C series tape refills with a compatible MakeID L1-C or L1-C-HD label maker. Incompatible tapes may lead to feeding errors or incorrect label detection.
