Tape color

The tape you have installed in your system determines the background color of your labels. The system assumes that the tape color you install is the background color you want to use on your label.

Some template-driven applications may require specific background colors for the template you choose. If you have the wrong color tape installed for that template, at print time the system prompts you to install the correct color tape.
