How To Use Tape Guides for Duralabel PRO printers
Please follow the instructions below to properly install tape guides. This ensures the tape sensor will read the supply and for perfectly aligned printing. Tape Guides are required only for 1/2" tapes and for shrink tubing 3/8" or smaller. Larger vinyl and shrink tube are adequately held in place by the adjustable guides of the DuraLabel PRO printers.
1. Load the label material (shrink tube or vinyl) into the DuraLabel PRO Printer and thread it through the cutter.
| Tape Guide Sizes | Tape Guide Colors |

2. Find the corresponding Tape Guide to match the size of shrink tube or vinyl loaded. Guides are required only for 1/2" vinyl supply and the four smallest sizes of shrink tube. Larger vinyl and shrink tube are adequately held in place by the adjustable guides.
3. Facing the front of the printer, hold the Tape Guide in hand with the smooth, flat side facing up and the cut-out opening on the left side.
4. Slip the cut-out opening of the guide over the left, smallest Adjustable Label Guide (inside the printer).
5. Align the label material under the grooved section of the Tape Guide to center text as it prints and for easy, smooth dispensing.
6. Move the Adjustable Tape Guides together until they stop, securing the Tape Guide in place.
7. Close the printer cover and you’re ready to print!
