Troubleshooting 

203

22

I want to make fine adjustments to 
the print result.

The length and margins can be adjusted in the "

Printer Setting Tool

". For 

more information, see 

Changing the P-touch Settings

 on page 94.

I want to faster printing.

High speed printing can be used if you are printing from a computer, the AC 
adapter is connected, and TZe laminated tape with black ink is installed. Use 
the printer driver to select the high speed mode when printing the labels.

You cannot use this function for TZe-FX**1 tape.

I want to print in higher resolution.

High resolution printing can be used if you are printing from a computer, the AC 
adapter is connected, and TZe laminated tape with black ink is installed. Use 
the printer driver to select the high resolution mode when printing the labels.

You cannot use this function for TZe-FX**1 tape.

The print result is poor.

High resolution printing can be used if you are printing from a computer, the AC 
adapter is connected, and TZe laminated tape with black ink is installed. Use 
the printer driver to select the high resolution mode when printing the labels.

You cannot use this function for TZe-FX**1 tape.

If using the high speed printing setting, print using the standard setting.

The high resolution or high speed 
printing setting was specified, but an 
error occurred and printing could not 
be completed.

As conditions for high resolution or high speed printing, you must print from a 
computer, the AC adapter must be connected, and TZe laminated tape with 
black ink must be installed.

You cannot use this function for TZe-FX**1 tape.

To clear the error, cancel the print job, and then connect the AC adapter or 
cancel high resolution or high speed printing.
