If you can't find such tape for your model of label maker, you will need fingernails and either a very good sense of touch or good eyesight.
Fold one of the corners of the label, just a tiny corner, back towards the backing paper, then forward. The backing paper will come off that tiny corner. Use the aforementioned fingernails to get under the label at that point. It's usually easier to grip the label than the backing paper, because the label is a little sticky underneath.
Some people say you should fold forward then back. Some people use a penknife instead of a fingernail.
It matters which way you bend, because of the relative stiffness of the paper and the plastic; you have to bend *towards* the paper, which will stay folded, away from the plastic. And I have effectively no fingernails, and that method works well enough for me. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
