How to use

Install the tape roll into a compatible Brother label printer following the printer manufacturer's instructions. Design your label using the printer controls or companion software, then print and trim if necessary. Clean the surface where the label will be applied to remove dust, oils or moisture, then press the label firmly onto the surface to ensure full contact of the adhesive. Allow a short setting time for best adhesion before subjecting the label to handling.

Recommendations

For best results, apply labels to clean, dry, and smooth surfaces at room temperature. Avoid placing labels on surfaces exposed to continuous moisture, extreme heat, or textured finishes when a long-term bond is required. When labeling cables or rounded surfaces, select appropriate label length and press edges firmly to reduce peeling.
