3. Insert the heat-shrink tube into the printer.
The printer will not print properly on a heat-shrink
tube that is bumpy, dirty, or of uneven thickness.
When using a heat-shrink tube roll, minimise the
tension in the tube so that printing performance is
optimized. High tension will cause tube stretch and
even slippage, causing poor print quality.
During printing, keep the media outlet area clear of
obstruction and accumulated prints. A blocked media
outlet will cause the improper cutting.
An example of how tension can be minimised:

The BMP 91 printer is optimised for Brady heat-
shrink tubes. If third-party heat shrink tubes are
used, the printer might not print properly.
The printer should autoload the tube, moving it up to
somewhere near the platen roller.
If the tube was not autoloaded and ready for
printing, you can load it manually.
instructions, refer to the "If the externally fed tube
is not autoloaded..." section in "7.
