Insert Tube - Canon Mk1500 User Manual

Insert tube

Tube is not provided with the printer; it must be purchased separately. The printer can print on tube with a
diameter ranging from 2.5mm to 5.2mm. Note that the printer will not print properly on tube that is bumpy,
dirty, or of uneven thickness.

When tube presence cannot be detected
Depending on the type of tube, this machine may be unable to detect whether the tube is
present. In such cases, use the clear tube mode for printing. However, in the clear tube
mode, the machine cannot detect when the tube supply has run out.
When using a tube reel
Adjust the tube reel so that the load does not exceed
4.9N (500gf). If the load is too great, the tube will
stretch and the cutting position will shift.
