With the multi-color printing function, you can create colorful labels using diffe-
rent ink colors. This function is useful when part of your message must be more
noticeable or when color-coded labels are needed.
The default color is COLOR1.
+
When a message is stored in the memory, the order in which the characters
will be printed are also saved.
The color print settings assigned using this function are the same settings
used with the global format C. FRAME and C. CHAR settings.
TO ENTER TEXT THAT WILL BE PRINTED WITH A DIFFERENT COLOR:
(1) Insert the cursor where you wish to begin using a new color.
(2) Press the COLOR key until the color setting you wish to use appears and
your desired setting is shown by the indicators above the LCD display.
(3) Enter the text to which the chosen color is to be applied.
TO APPLY COLOR SETTINGS TO A SELECTED AREA:

will be printed.

Before printing the label, be sure to use the FORMAT key to select the
color of the frame or shading (For more information, refer to page 101.)
The part of the character that is left blank can also be printed using one
the three ink colors. (Refer to page 103 for a detailed explanation.)
(2) Open the tape compartment cover and insert the first ink cassette into a
multi-color printing tape cassette, then insert them firmly into the compart-
ment before closing the compartment cover. Make sure that the entire back
of the cassette contacts the bottom of the compartment.
(3) Position the cursor in front of the first character you wish to print using the se-
cond ink color and press AREA key. The first character will be highlighted.
+
All characters will automatically be printed using the first ink color,
unless they are assigned a different color number.
