Creating Multi-Line Labels

• Maximum of five lines on 3/4" (19 mm) and 1” 

(24 mm) labels 

• Maximum of three lines on 3/8" (9 mm) and 1/2" 

(12 mm) labels 

• Maximum of one line on 1/4" (6 mm) labels

new line character 

 is placed at the end of 

the first line in the display, but will not print on the 
label.

The display shows the line on which you are 
currently entering text. The example below

the label.

Using Mixed Formats

You can apply different fonts and styles to the text 
on a label by dividing the label into blocks of text or 
pages. Each page is separated by a page break. 
The number of lines that can be added to a page is 
determined by the label width. You can add two 
page breaks per label. Alignment, underline, box 
styles, and background patterns cannot be mixed 
on a label.These styles are common to the entire 
label.

next page of the label.
