Well, I use 3/8 because the half-inch off-branded crap I tried kept sticking
and not feeding properly. But, the label specs do say it will use either 3/8
or 1/2.

Hey, Steve.
Thanks for the info. ... I thought I once tried 3/8 inch, with problems,
but would be willing to try it again if it's the only thing available.
But, it sounds like you've got me onto some more reasonable prices for the
half inch stuff.
Will check it out, and place an order soon.
Thanks again, and 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
