Printing

  1. Take out the wrap around tape.

  • A half-cut tape is ejected.

If tape jams

Hold down [Cancel] until the printer beeps. The printer stops all operations immediately. In this case, the tape is not cut and it is not ejected.

A half-cut tape is ejected

The tape is half-cut so that it can be easily separated by hand.

 Attaching the wrap-around tape

  1. Peel the printed film from the wrap around tape backing.

 When wrapping, the laminating cover should sufficiently overlap the printed part. We recommend using with cable of 3 to 7.6 mm.

Peel the printed film from the wrap around tape backing

  1. Attach the tape to the cable as shown in the diagram, starting from the printed end.

  1. Wrap the transparent laminating portion so that it covers the printed part.

 If the film does not peel away from the backing

Because wrap around tape has a strong adhesive, it may be hard to peel the film off the backing. Refer to the following diagram for the peeling method.

Peeling method

 If the cut is too shallow

Wrap around tape is thicker than typical label tape, so the half-cut may be shallower.

 If the half-cut is too shallow, the film may not properly peel from the backing.

Peeling a shallow cut

 CANON FINETECH NISCA INC. shall not be responsible for damages that might result from the tape peeling off, or from fading of the printing on the tape.
