How to use

Install the tape cartridge into a compatible label printer following the printer manufacturer's instructions. Design and format the label using the printer's software or built-in templates, ensuring the chosen font size fits within the 9 mm width. Print a test label to confirm alignment and legibility, then apply the printed label to a clean, dry surface. For best adhesion, press firmly along the label edges and allow a short settling time before subjecting the label to handling.

Usage recommendations

For longest readable life, apply labels to smooth, clean surfaces and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. When labeling cables, wrap the label neatly and avoid placing labels on moving parts. Use appropriate font sizes and simple layouts to maximize legibility on the 9 mm-wide tape.
