Tape cassettes
• Do not pull on the tape being fed from the machine, otherwise the tape cassette may be damaged.
• If the label is attached to a wet or dirty surface, it may easily peel off. Before affixing the label, clean
the surface where it will be attached.
• Depending on the environmental conditions and the material, condition, roughness, and shape of
the affixing surface, the label may move out of place or peel off. In order to test the label’s adhesive
strength or before using this label where safety is a particular concern, test the label by affixing a
small piece of it to a hidden area of the intended surface.
• Sunlight, wind and rain may cause the colour of the label to fade or the label to peel off.
• Markings made with oil-based or water-based ink may be visible through a label affixed over them.
To hide the markings, use two labels layered on top of each other, or use tape with a dark back-
ground.
• This tape may not be adequate in cases where liabilities may result due to damage or injuries.
• AL tape is a thermal tape that is not suitable for use outside or for an extended period of time since it
may become discolored. In addition, depending on the environmental conditions and the material of
the surface where this tape is attached, the tape may peel or fall off.
