PARTEX T-2000 Wrap Around Tape

Thank you for purchasing the wrap around tape. Please read the instructions carefully before application to make the most effective use of the tape. After reading, please store these instructions in a safe place. For details of the printer and the wrap around tape, please refer to the manuals provided with the printer.

WRAP AROUND TAPE FEATURES

• This tape combines a printable label with a transparent laminated seal, which protects the label surface. By covering the printed part with laminated seal, it is possible to prevent staining and fading due to dirt and friction.
• The tape length can range from 8 mm to 150 mm. The diameter of the cable in which the laminating seal sufficiently overlaps the printed part is from ø3 mm to ø7.6 mm.

NOTE OR HANDLING

• Do not disassemble or alter the tape cassette. This may cause printing degradation.
• Do not reuse wrap around tape once it has been used as it may damage your printer.
•  Do not use the wrap around tape for purposes other than those given in this document.
• Store tape cassettes in place away from direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, and dust. In addition, always store the cassette in its box to protect it from dirt and dust that may lower the printing quality, and use it as soon as possible after opening.
• Do not leave the tape cassette in a hot place, such as inside a car in the hot sun. The tape may deform and become unusable.
• Clean the cable surface thoroughly before wrapping the tape. Fingerprints or dirt on the cable surface may cause the tape to peel off.
•  Depending on the usage conditions, the tape’s color may change or some adhesive may remain on the cable after peeling off the tape. Test that the tape does not damage the type of cable you are working with before application.
• When printing on the wrap around tape, some tape adhesive may stick to the printer’s transport rollers. If adhesive should sticks to the transport rollers, clean the rollers following the directions for your printer. For cleaning details, see the “Maintenance” section of the User’s Manual with the printer.
• We shall not be responsible for damages that might result from the tape peeling off, or from fading of the printing on the tape.
• Dispose the wasted tape cassettes according to local government regulation.
