Make sure the paper is transporting consistently through the machine.
If not, adjust the tension and then readjust the separators.
Make sure the label advance roller and yellow pressure roller are clean.
If you are still having problems, you will need to check the clutch and break.
Remove all labels and paper from the machine.
Switch the machine off.
Keep the [Label] key pressed down while switching the machine on
“The machine should now be in a diagnostic mode”
Press the [OPT] key till you see
cu-br on the display and the rollers should be spinning.
If not slide the speed control all the way to the right.
The label advance roller should be pulsating fast and if you grab it should be almost impossible to stop.
If you can stop it there is a problem with the clutch and most likely needs to be replaced. The problem then becomes getting a clutch, and they are not available.
I just purchased a
used Rena L-326 tabber/labeler. Have been experiencing problems with the
clear tabs not being folded over consistently.
I’ve tried different thickness settings. According to the book I’ve got the tabbing roller in the right spot, am using the hold down as suggested by the book.
Also having a problem with the
paper round tabs not being advanced far enough to seal the top side well also.
Anyone have any solutions, tricks regarding this piece of machinery?
Thanks.

I’m, having the same problem with Rena L326, I can not get it to tab. It applies stamps, and labels, but I can’t get it to tab. I’m currently using regular tabs, Does it really have to use the “fan-fold” tabs? If I use regular role tabs, do I have to use the black back lining type?
The L-326 does not look at the backing paper, it looks at the tab after it peels away, so it has no effect.
It is best to use the Rena Fan Folded tabs designed for the L-326.
Rolls of tabs end up giving back resistance as it pulls them off the roll, ant that causes the backing to slip and the tabs position to vary.
Please note: Most of the parts for this unit are no longer available, so please consider upgrading and call 866-430-2874 for options
I got my L-326 working fine now. It will run just about any tab, whether roll or fan fold.
The thin sheet of metal that keeps the mailing piece down as the runs through the machine was too tight and slowing up the item allowing the next one to catch up. I had to take it off and get a piece of spring steel shaped at a local machine shop. Not pretty but works much better.
Be careful when feeding from a roll, there should be very little if any drag. I had to build a rack to hold the roll and allow it to rotate.
I has been tabbing with 1.5 inch, 1 inch, 15/16 inch tabs, clear, translucent with no problems lately,
It will be nice to some day afford a newer, faster tabber, but for our volume and the fact that it is still functioning, I’ll stick with the L-326 for a while.
