Brady 76800 manual Color-coded measuring guide detail

Figure 2-6. Color-coded measuring guide detail.

Step 1: Verify your tape’s size by noting the colored label in the center of the tape cartridge’s handle. For example, if your tape is 4”, you will see a red label in the center of the tape handle. That red label corresponds to the red bar on the color- coded measuring guide (Figure 2-6).

Step 2: Grasp both tape guides. Note: Each tape guide is made up of two parts: a movable lever (1) and sliding tape guide (2) (Figure 2-5). Squeeze the movable lever and sliding tape guide together to position them.

Step 3: Align the tape guides to the corresponding color on the measuring guide. Be certain to also match the arrows on the tape guides with the arrows on the measuring guide to ensure the guides are aligned properly. The tape guides will lock in place. (For example, if your supply is 4”, align both tape guides with the arrows on the red bars on each side of the measuring guide.)

Important! Be certain to center justify the guides and make sure that each guide is equidistant from the edges of the inside of the printer. This will ensure that the tape is perfectly centered when it’s installed. If the guides aren’t centered when you install the tape, you will get an error message saying that the tape was not properly installed.
