After you print a tape, you can peel off its paper
backing and stick the tape onto the object you
want. Note that the tape will not stick on coarse,
wet, oily, or soiled surfaces. Also, you should not
try to use the tape where it is exposed to direct
sunlight or rain. Do not stick the tape onto hu-
man skin.
•
An easy way to remove the backing from a tape
and expose the adhesive surface is to bend the
tape near one of its ends. This should cause the
tape and its backing to separate, allowing you to
pull them apart.
Stamp Printing
The stamp printing feature lets you print on special stamp tape. You can then
attach the finished stamp tape to an optionally available stamp holder to create
your own original pre-inked stamps. The following is the type of stamp holder
currently available for use with stamp tapes.
Note the following important points about stamp printing.
•
Stamp printing prints text in mirror image.
•
Stamp printing is impossible while 6mm is specified as the tape width.
•
An error message (ERR!) appears on the display and the Label Printer refuses
to print whenever you try to print text that is longer than the maximum length
you specify.
