Understanding the Dymo LetraTag (LT) Label Cassettes

The Dymo LetraTag LT-100H label maker uses Dymo LetraTag (LT) 12 mm label cassettes. These cassettes are specifically designed to work with the LetraTag series‚ ensuring optimal printing performance and label quality. It’s important to use the correct type of cassette to avoid damaging your label maker or producing unsatisfactory results.

LT cassettes are available in a variety of materials and colors to suit different labeling needs. Paper labels are a cost-effective option for general-purpose labeling. Plastic labels are more durable and water-resistant‚ making them suitable for outdoor use or labeling items that may be exposed to moisture.

To identify the type of label cassette you have‚ check the packaging or the label on the cassette itself. The information will indicate the material‚ width‚ and length of the label tape. Always store your label cassettes in a cool‚ dry place to prevent damage and ensure they are ready for use when needed.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with careful use‚ you might encounter issues with your Dymo LetraTag LT-100H. One common problem is poor print quality‚ which can result from a dirty print head. Clean the print head using a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Another issue is the label not feeding correctly. Ensure the label cassette is properly installed and the label path is clear of obstructions.

If the label maker displays an error message‚ consult the manual for specific troubleshooting steps. Low battery power can also cause printing problems; replace the batteries with fresh ones. If the characters are not printing clearly or are distorted‚ try adjusting the print density settings.

Sometimes‚ the label can get stuck inside the machine. In this case‚ gently try to remove the label. Avoid using excessive force‚ which could damage the mechanism. If problems persist‚ visit the Dymo website for additional support resources or contact their customer service for assistance. Always remember to register your label maker for warranty support.
