Changing any tape is easy with a DYMO D1 LabelManager; it just requires the owner to open the tape compartment, remove the empty D1 cassette, pop in a new DYMO D1 label printer tape, and close the cover. Once you insert the new tape, the printer will ask you to choose its width (6 mm, 9 mm, or 12 mm). All common models of LabelManager (160, 210D, 280D, 360D, etc.) do the same, and it is easy to change the tapes.
Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing the Tape
- Turn Off the Label Printer: It is best to shut down your LabelManager first so as to prevent any possible stray printing to the tape.
- Open the Tape Compartment:Find and open the cassette’s cover: on desktop peel the back or top cover. On the handheld, such as the 360D, lift the lid on the top.
- Remove the Old Tape Cassette: Slide out the compartment and used DYMO D1 cassette. 2) (Recycle or dispose of the empty cassette.)
- Install New DYMO D1 Tape Cassette: Insert a new cartridge of tape 6 mm, 9 mm or 12 mm in the compartment. Be sure that the tape end is passed between the roller guide pieces. Ensure that the ribbon and Bureau of Tapes spools are stretched; otherwise, rotate the small spool in the cassette to eliminate any slack. The cassettes start off tight, and then pushing a cassette into place fits it properly. A typical desktop model will have the label facing down, and a handheld model will have the label facing up, such as the 360D.
- Close the Compartment and Power On: Close the cover and switch back the LabelManager. The new tape will be sensed by the printer, whereby the wideness of the tape will be prompted. Select the new cassette width (6 mm, 9 mm, or 12 mm).
- Print a Test Label: Test a sample label and print the label to ensure that the tape is inserted appropriately. In case the label hangs or jams, reopen the compartment, loosen the cassette, and retry.
Safety Consideration:
The cutter blade of the LabelManager is extremely sharp. When replacing tapes, avoid keeping fingers close to the blade.
