There may be a small piece of label cutting stuck in the gears. remove the label cartredge, you will see a white gear set between the pinch wheel and the print head. Use a micro drive or something strong and give the gears a little help while pushing the print button. You may have to do this several times. Be careful not to use too much force as this may knock a tooth off. Good luck. My Dymo continues to print prefet labels.
I had the constant tape jam message and could not find any reason for it. I figured I was going to have to throw it away anyway so I started taking it apart. I found a small piece of RTV (silicone) stuck in the gears under the keyboard. I removed the foreign object and now it is working fine. Hope this works for you.
Thank you!!!!!
Salve, non riesco a usare mi scrive "tape jam" e nuovo, usato poche volte, cosa posso fare?

I have the LabelManager 150. I had to remove the 6 screws that hold the casing together and open up the device to get to some label and ribbon that got behind the feed roller. After that I had to "nudge" the gears, as mentioned above, to reinitialize the motor. It is functioning well now.
I would only note that the power adapter port may come out of its slot when you open the device, so make sure to reseat it when putting it back together. Other than that the device did not have any loose parts that could fall out, when opened.
This is a very late response, but after trying all these suggestions my Dymo was still stuck. I finally applied 5v directly to the motor terminals and ran the motor for a few seconds. No problems since. You have to take the printer apart to do this and be careful not to touch the power to anything else or you'll fry the circuits.
Move the rubber ribbon feeder by small application of force, this in turn moves the gears below which are probably jammed due to lack of activity, reinstate tape cassette and you will be ready to go.
Try this. With the tape out, Look for the round black button at the bottom of the tape compartment. Press it in and hold it down while pressing the cut button on the side. If the button inside the tape area goes down a bit further, you should be good to go. Load it with tape and try it out. This worked for me. Good Luck!

I'm having the same issue. It seems to come and go. I'll take the batteries out, turn it off and on, and if I hold my tongue right, it will work.....but only a few times before I get a "tape jam" message.
I don't see a tape jam and changing the cartridge doesn't seem to help.
Same issue here, Dymo Label Manager 150. No jams, new batteries, new tape, still getting error. Online documentation doesn't provide any other options other than clear jam...... NO JAM...
tape jam
No tape jam at al but same message. Happened one day when I hadn't used it in a few weeks and I have no idea what to do to fix it. Replaced everything, cleaned it, it makes an initial noise and then noting happens. Anyone had any luck fixing it?
Hardly used mine. running of 9V power supply. says tape jam and nothing will fix it.
I have similar problem with DYMO Rhino. It seems like that something to do with roll you buy. Some rolls are just bad. Aproximatly 1 for 20 (I use mostly heatsink 9mm and Flat 19mm)
From the other hand I was printing Labels on the roof for HVAC condensers in hot temperature, I was changing sizes and tape colours and had the same problem; Just start and jammed(code 06), After I had came back to the office, and 30 minutes later have printed all with no problems. Realy strange :(
I had the jam and fixed it by taking an ice pick and beside the gear resetting the silver button. Works great now.
