The zcM1000D pressure sensitive tape dispenser has a custom circuit board that dispenses a minimum length of .2" (5mm). This model accepts tape widths .28” to 2” (7 to 51mm), and dispenses lengths up to 39” (999mm). The photo-sensor is unable to detect 5mm pieces. Tweezers are suggested for tape removal.
