II don't the answer to that, all I know read and understand the complicated instructions. That's my problem.

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.

My lable maker is a PT65, and takes a 12mm M tape thats all I can tell you.

If you have the correct label paper such as Avery. I print file labels all the time using Avery labels. I think one of the engineers prints CD & DVD labels.

I had the same problem with this item my guess would be to go to avery.com and find the double label set up and have that downloaded to your computer so it will print only HALF THE PAGE.

huh, I have never had that problem. I am thinking though that you may have gotten a bad batch or something. How many different times have you used the tape? If only once then I do not know. But if you keep using the same tape and taking it off and putting it back on, it would do that. If its the latter, start over. The tape is just worn out. If it is neither I suggest getting another tape roll and putting it in. That should do it. Good luck!

The Brother website says it uses the TZ tape family, which this is a TZ tape. Also, the PT-1280 appear to be the same model that my wife uses. Here's the link: http://www.brother-usa.com/Labeling_Solutions/ModelDetail/7/PT1280/spec#.U5b-pVsnKUk

Nope. It prints individual labels off a spool, and rarely makes a mistake. Even those few wasted labels amount to pennies as most labels work out to 4-8 cents per label.

It won't if you didn't remove the tape and if other cartridges are empty you would have to have color ink in them. That was for xp300 printer

Thank You for you response. But since writing my question I did find out that the Dymo 450 Turbo, only uses spool label rolls, and not tape cartridges as they indicated in the product description. I wish I hadn't bought it now. Thank you again for your response.

The error is something I faced and wrote in my review of how to fix it. The problem is caused by miscontact with the reset board and the printer, which is mainly due to the plastic dots holding the board in place. If you feel the dots and notice one or more protruding, then just take a small file, or use your finger to scrape off the protruded plastic. After that, all should work fine.

I don't know of any way to get around this "feature". The machine appears to be programmed to stick the inch or so leader on the label. It appears to me that the manufacturer knew this was a issue because they print the two small dots at the point where the label has to be cut to center it. I wish I had a solution for you. Good luck in finding one.

The only time this ever happened to me, I changed the tape cartridge. Be sure the paper cartridge is kept in a cool, dry area before you load it... I suspect high humidity may reduce the paper adherence to the ink.

If you're near the end of your label cartridge, the print may fade. If a new label cartridge does not improve the output, and if your label maker is battery powered, try new batteries.

I don't know, but there is a problem with this tape! The pack I ordered stuck to itself and couldn't pass thru the labeler. Amazon said to dispose of it, and they sent me a new one at no cost. The second one had the same problem. I returned it, and am awaiting a credit. I suspect these tapes are very old or were stored inappropriately. If no one can answer your ques. email DYMO and they'll advise you.

It should stay on with glue. If in doubt, tape over the whole label once it is addressed. DO NOT COVER A TRACKING CONFIRMATION NUMBER. Tape the edges, but not the scan strip. Hope that helps.

In the full version of the software (free from their site) there is an option to print about 6 feet continuously. But if you're doing one label at a time there will be waste.
