How do I correct printing on only half the tape with a DYMO LectraTag 100H?

Sounds to me that you may have either a faulty tape or machine. Try switching to a different tape and see if it changes. If not, I'd call dymo directly.

Well if you printed it out already... then I think you need to hit the backspace button to correct it and re-print.

The dome on the printer flips open. That's where you install the tape cartridge.

I don't have an answer, Scott, but seeing as how the 3-color cartridge is such a limitation, both in ink usage and in printing pure blacks, I wonder what the possibility is that Dymo will bring out a DiscPainter II shortly, with at least 2 cartridges. There's certainly room for them back there, and it makes a lot of sense. With my luck, they'll do it right after I buy the 3-color version. ;-) Thanks for your review. Re the dithering, is it really that bad when printing in high-resolution? Seems like at 1200 dpi the dithering ought to be minimal, but then I haven't seen one of these.

In the Ptlite10 folder open the file PRTINFO.INI, and change the value of nMinNoCutFeed in each of the sections from 175 to 10. This will eliminate the excess tape. You can experiment with the other settings as well. Changing nMinFeed might reduce the amount of tape it feeds before printing as well.Also, I noticed that the setting reset after the unit was rebooted. In fact, you can run the whole program from your computer by copying the files if you'd like to preserve this setting.

The machine will always waste a half inch on the left side because this is how much it needs to feed to get the previous label out. I think this is due to their cartridge design, so I expect that any machine using TZ tape cartridges has this problem. But, if you look at your [Margin] setting, you can choose "Full", "Half", "Narrow", or "Chain Print". If you need to print multiple labels, use "Chain Print" and there will be nothing wasted between labels. Chain Print does not fully eject the label, so you need to hit "Feed" when you're done or the cutter will chop your last label in half. "Narrow" is the best you can get for a single label, and just cut off the leading half inch.

We're using a Zebra thermal printer, not Dymo. But they worked for us. Should be ok with any thermal printer that requires 4x6.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.

Looks like the others have covered it, the Dymo 450 Turbo prints on LabelWriter (LW) labels that you can customize. The label rolls are inserted under the dome. The D1 tape labels work with other Dymo products.

That such a friend, the kind of dymo tape to use is the QWERTY D1 Label Maker, for their machine, which is used here only for a more advanced model. regards

You know, I have noticed the same thing. I haven't tried to make my less fuzzy, I just re-type whatever I'm doing into my new Printshop. Or I use Notepad or Word. I think I still have 1 that I use, but plan to reprint it as soon as I have the time. Sorry I can't help you on this. Seems like there should be a way, but I even tried different fonts and it didn't change the fuzziness. Charlene

There is a workaround for this, it is a little time consuming but does work, you need to print as a pdf and then crop the image and then print using DYMO shrink to fit page and it works.

You have to check the box for double-sided printing since it's not the default setting. You can do this in the print options for your document.

I was able to find DYMO D1 label tape (1/2"x23', black print on white tape) here on Amazon for around $10/roll. Depends on your definition of 'reasonable', but it's a little bit expensive for my tastes.

I have a new printer now so am not sure, but try unplugging both the power cord and the comm. cord to "boot" it. Leave it off for a few minutes. If that doesn't do the trick, make sure if it is locked (can't tell by your description) or whether it's just choosing the wrong tray all the time. Once in a while I actually had to resize the picture inside my photo editing software and then reprint because it kept wanting to 4 x 6 everything. (only once in a while) If I remember correctly, there are sliders inside the trays to make the paper snug. Check them and make sure they move back and forth like they're supposed to in case that might be the problem. Try moving the sliders in the larger try all the way to the outside??

try running a print head clean with a new cartridge, otherwise you may need a new print head

It uses tape that is half red and half black in colors. It uses a standard type tape, and if I understand what would be a 2-ply tape, I have to say that it does not use a 2-ply tape. But I have to say that I am no expert in this area. My only problem with this calculator is that I have not discovered a way to change the print-out to a standard [ $1,2345.67 ] readout. If anybody knows of a way I would love to know how to do it. It isn't covered in the owner's manual.

I print on one side then flip and print the next label on the other. Not sure of a way to print on both from eBay/amazon. On eBay you have to make sure and not print the deceit on the other side. Hope that helps.
