Troubleshooting
Tape does not extend smoothly
Check for debris in the sliding carriage or around the tape opening. Clean the carriage and guide the tape gently. If the tape is bent, straighten it carefully.
Markings are difficult to read
Ensure adequate lighting. The white tape and black inkjet markings are designed for high contrast in normal conditions. Clean the tape surface if it is dirty.
Caliper function is inaccurate
Ensure the tape is fully locked and stable before using the caliper. Verify that the marking point on the extender is clean and unobstructed.
Tape retracts too quickly or forcefully
Use the sliding carriage to control retraction. Do not release the tape suddenly without engaging the carriage to prevent snap-back.
