Figure 10: Tape Supply through Knife and Stacker
3.1.4 Butt Splice
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print head, do not
use butt splices.
The SNAP 500 printer is designed to allow for fast, frequent changing and
loading of tape and supplies. We recommend re-threading the tape rather than
to using a butt splice. If you determine that splicing is faster for threading, tape
the ends of the stock together. Turn the feed roller and advance the splice
through the printer. Do not try and run the splice through the printer as it can
cause damage.
