  • DO NOT put any foreign objects into openings such as the Tape Exit Slot, USB Port, or Battery Compartment.
  • DO NOT use, charge, or store the product:
    • Where it may come into contact with liquids
    • Where condensation forms
    • Where there is a lot of dust
    • Where the temperature or humidity are extreme, see Related Topics.
    • Near flames, a heater, or in direct sunlight
  • DO NOT try to print if the cassette is empty; it will damage the Print Head.
  • DO NOT pull the tape while printing or feeding; it will damage the tape and the Label Printer.
  • The length of a printed label may differ from the displayed label length.
  • Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, labels may unpeel or become irremovable, or the colour may change or be transferred to other objects. Before applying labels, check the environmental conditions and the material.
  • When printing multiple copies of a label, the Label Printer will not detect the end of the Tape Cassette and will continue printing.
  • Printed characters may look different from those displayed in the print preview, as your device's or computer’s screen may have a higher resolution than the Label Printer.
  • Printed small text may not be as clear as it is displayed.
  • White and gold coloured text and symbols may not always print clearly.
  • Labels may be difficult to attach to surfaces that are wet, dirty, or uneven. The labels may peel off easily from these surfaces.
  • For rough and textured surfaces, we recommend using Extra Strength Adhesive Tape.
