The label length can be set using two different methods. With the size set to
AUTO, the machine compares your inputted message with the tape size and
automatically adjusts the label length to fit your message. Sometimes, however,
you will want to assign a label length regardless of the message’s size. The
label length can be set from 1.5” (3.8 cm) to 11.3” (28.7 cm). The label lengths
are:
In inches: AUTO 1.5 1.6 … 11.3 AUTO…
In centimeters: AUTO 3.8 3.9 … 28.7 AUTO…
+
The length setting can only be applied to the entire label. It cannot be
applied to just part of the text.
When a setting other then AUTO is selected for the label length, the
message “TOO LONG” is displayed if the text will not fit within the
specified length.
TO SELECT A TAPE LENGTH:
(1) Press the FORMAT key.
(2) Press the
4
and
3
keys until the tape length setting (LENGTH) is highlighted.
(3) Press the
5
and
6
keys until the setting you wish to use is displayed. Press-
ing either key once will change the length by 0.1” (0.1 cm when centimeters
are displayed). If a key is held down, the length will continue changing in steps
of 1” (1.0 cm) until the key is released.
+
The default setting (AUTO) can be selected by pressing the SPACE key.
(4) Press the RETURN key.
