• Press SET to execute the highlighted item, or ESC to exit the displayed menu (and return to the previous menu or screen) without selecting anything.
• When you press SET to execute a menu item, the Label Printer either moves on to the next menu, or it executes the selected function and returns to the text input screen that you started from.

Part 2

Getting Ready

This part of the manual tells you how to load batteries and the tape cartridge, and how to perform other basic setups for the Label Printer.

Important!

Be sure to read this section before attempting to use the Label Printer.

Power Supply

The Label Printer can be powered by eight AA-size batteries or an optional AC adaptor (AD-A95100). A CR2032 battery is also used as a memory back-up power supply.

Replacing Batteries

A handy low battery power indicator lets you know when battery power is getting too low for proper operation. The message LOW BATTERY appears on the display if battery power is low when you perform any of the following operations.

• Switching power on
• Executing a print operation
• Executing a tape feed operation

When the LOW BATTERY message appears, press ESC to clear it from the display. You should still be able to perform some Label Printer operations, but some power intensive operations (like printing or tape feed) may become impossible if battery power is too low. In any case, you should replace batteries as soon as possible or switch to the AC adaptor as soon as possible after the LOW BATTERY message appears.

Important!

Batteries can burst or leak and damage your unit if you use them the wrong way. Note the following important points.

• Be sure that the plus (+) and minus (-) sides of each battery are facing correctly.
• Never mix batteries of different types
• Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long time.
• Be sure to replace the main battery in accordance with the battery life noted on the side of the battery itself, and the back-up battery once every 1 year.

Warning!

• Never recharge the batteries you use with this unit.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat, do not short circuit them, and do not try to take them apart.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult with a physician immediately.
• Low battery power is indicated by poor print quality or power switching off while printing is in progress.

To replace the memory back-up battery

Before using the Label Printer for the first time, be sure that you first use the following procedure to install the memory back-up battery that comes with it. Data stored in memory will be lost if you do not load this battery.

1. Switch power off.
2. Use a small phillips head screwdriver to loosen the screw that secures the back-up battery compartment cover in place, and remove the cover.

1. Wipe off the surfaces of a CR2032 battery with a soft dry cloth, and install it with its plus (+) side facing up (so you can see it).
2. Carefully replace the battery compartment cover and secure it in place with the screw.

• You should use the above procedure to replace the memory back-up battery once a year.

To replace the main batteries

1. Switch power off.
2. If you are using the AC adaptor to power the unit, you should also unplug the adaptor from the Label Printer.
3. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the Label Printer by sliding it in the direction indicated by the arrow.

2. Make sure that the tape is under the tape guide and that it is not bent or twisted.

3. Make sure that the tape does not extend too far past the tape guide. If it does, cut off the end with a pair of scissors.

4. Use a pencil or some other thin object to take up slack in the ink ribbon as shown in the illustration. Note that the tape does not move at this time.

5. If the ink ribbon is slack when you load it into the Label Printer, it can break or cause some other problem.

• Be sure to turn the ink ribbon take up spool only in the direction indicated by the arrow (a).
• Turn the spool until the other spool (b) starts turning in the direction noted by the arrow. This indicates there is no slack in the ribbon.

1. Load the tape cartridge into the Label Printer, making sure that the tape and ink ribbon pass between the head and roller.

1. Close the tape cartridge compartment cover.

1. Switch on Label Printer power and press FUNC and then FEED two or three times to make sure that the tape comes out without any problem.

2. If the tape does not come out normally, switch off power and start again from step 1 above.

To specify the tape width

Part 3

Inputting Characters, Symbols, and Illustrations

This part of the manual tells you how to input characters. To make things easier to understand, we call everything you input a character regardless of whether it is actually a letter, number, or symbol. Explanations here all use the default settings that are in effect from the initial power-on screen.

For information on using other fonts, styles, effects and characters sizes, see page 27.

Important!

• You can input up to 127 characters. Further input becomes impossible after you input the 127th character.

Display Symbols and Indicators

Before getting into actual input, you should first become acquainted with the symbols and indicators used on the Label Printer display.

- Function indicator

This indicator appears when you press FUNC. Pressing a key while this indicator is on the display causes the function marked above that key to be executed.

- Shift indicator

This indicator appears when you press SHIFT. While this indicator is on the display, the keyboard is shifted, so the letter keys input upper-case alpha characters. The number keys input the punctuation symbols marked in the upper right corners of the keys.

If both the caps mode indicator and the shift indicator are shown on the display, the keyboard is shifted to lower-case input.

The keyboard is unshifted (and the shift indicator disappears) as soon as you input a character.

Code indicator

This indicator appears when you press CODE. While this indicator is on the display, the number keys input the accents marked above the keys.

The keyboard returns to normal (and the code indicator disappears) as soon as you input an accent.

Vertical printing indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is set up for vertical printing. Horizontal printing is performed when this indicator is not shown.

- Mirror image printing indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is set up for mirror image printing. Normal (non mirror image) printing is performed when this indicator is not shown.

Overwrite mode indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is in the overwrite mode. In the overwrite mode, inputting a character at a location where there is already a character, replaces the original character with a new one. When this indicator is not shown, the input character is inserted in front of the existing character.

- Caps mode indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is in the caps (upper-case) mode. All letters you input in the caps mode are upper-case. When the caps mode indicator is not shown on the display, all letters are input as lower-case.

Note that the Label Printer stays in the caps mode until you press CAPS again.

If both the caps mode indicator and the shift indicator are shown on the display, the keyboard is shifted to lower-case input.

Confirmation message

The confirmation message appears when you must make a yes-or-no choice for the message shown on the display. When this message appears, press SET for "yes" or ESC for "no."

- Cursor key operation indicators

These indicators show you what cursor key operations are available in the screen shown on the display. If the and indicators are shown, it means you can use the and cursor keys. If the and indicators are shown, it means you can use the and cursor keys.

- Style indicators

These indicators point to the character style that is currently in use. You can select between outline, shadow, and raised.

- Sans-serif indicator

This indicator appears when you are using the sans-serif font. The serif font is in effect when this indicator is not on the display.

- Manual feed indicator

This indicator appears when you are using manual feed instead of auto feed. Auto feed is in effect when this indicator is not on the display.

Important!

• After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press FUNC and then FEED to feed the tape before cutting it. If you don't, you will cut off part of the printed text.

- 6mm tape indicator

This indicator appears when you use the procedure described under "To specify the tape width" to specify 6 millimeter wide tape. Another tape size is specified when this indicator is not on the display.

- Format imager

This graphic shows how many lines of text are in the format. The thickness of each line also gives you some idea of the relative size of the characters in each line.

If the format you are using has more than one line, the line in the format imager that corresponds to the current cursor location flashes on the display.

- Cursor

The cursor shows the next input position. Any character you input appears at the point where the cursor is located.

- Character size indicator

These values show the height and width measurements of the characters.

- Tape length

The value shows how long the tape will be when you print it. You can select inches or centimeters for this value.

- Character position marks

These marks show where characters will appear as you input them. This part of the display is always blank when you switch power on.

Basic Alpha-Numeric Input

The following operation shows you the basic procedures for inputting letters and numbers. We will explain the procedure by inputting the following characters onto the default initial power-on screen.

• Press FUNC and then to make the cursor jump to the end (far right) of the characters on the display.
• Press SHIFT and then to make the cursor jump to the next newline mark (see "To input alpha-numeric characters") or block mark (page 37) to the left.
• Press SHIFT and then to make the cursor jump to the next newline mark or block mark to the right.
• Holding down the cursor keys moves the cursor left or right at high speed.

Deleting Individual Characters

You can delete individual characters with either the BS key or the DEL key. The only difference between the operation of these two keys is the location of the cursor.

To delete characters using the BS key

Example: To change the word "commputer" to "computer".

1. Use and to move the cursor under "p".

1. Press BS twice to delete the two m's to the left of the cursor, shifting "puter" to the left as you do.
2. Press FUNC and then to jump back to the end of the characters for more input.

To delete characters using the DEL key

Example: To change the word "commputer" to "computer".

1. Use and to move the cursor under the first (far left) "m".
2. Press DEL twice to delete the two m's at the cursor's position, shifting "mputer" to the left as you do.
3. Press FUNC and then to jump back to the end of the characters for more input.

Deleting a Series of Characters

The Label Priter's Word Out function lets you delete a series of characters with a single operation. This operation deletes all characters to the left of the current cursor location, up to the previous space.

To delete a series of characters

Example: To change "ABC XYZDEF GHI" to "ABC DEF GHI".

1. Use and to move the cursor under the letter "Z".
2. Press FUNC (the FUNC indicator appears on the display), and then BS.
3. This deletes everything from "Z" up to the next space to the left of the cursor, leaving "ABC DEF GHI".

Using the CLS Function

The CLS function gives you two options for clearing the display. You can either clear all text from the display, or you can specify a series of text for clearing.

To clear all text from the display

1. Press FUNC and then CLS to display the clear screen menu.

3. Press SET.

1. Use and to move the cursor to the other end of the text you want to clear.

2. If you selected "Z" in step 3, move the cursor to the space to the left of "U". If you selected "U" in step 3, move the cursor to the space to the right of "Z".
   Note that the text that will be deleted is highlighted as you move the cursor.

Important!

The next step will delete the selected text without a warning message. Make sure that you really want to clear the selected text before proceeding.

• If you change your mind about deleting text, you can use ESC to backstep to the input screen without deleting anything.

• Press SET to clear the text you selected.

Overwrite and Insert

You can set up the Label Printer for either overwrite or insert of characters at the cursor position. The following describes the difference between these two options.

Overwrite

With overwrite, characters you input replace the characters at the cursor location. The Label Printer is in the overwrite mode when the overwrite mode indicator (see "Display Symbols and Indicators") is on the display.

Insert

With insert, characters you input are inserted between the characters at the cursor location. The Label Printer is in the insert mode when the overwrite mode indicator is not on the display.

Note that insert is the default whenever you switch Label Printer power on.

The following table illustrates the difference between the overwrite and insert modes.

Display Characters	Input	Overwrite Mode	Insert Mode

Part 5

Character Attributes and Text Effects

The operations in this part of the manual explain how to change the fonts, style, and size of characters. These characteristics are called character attributes. It also tells you how to assign such text effects as underlining, shading, and box printing to text after you finish inputting it.

Specifying Character Attributes

You can specify character attributes at any of the following three points.

- Before you input any characters

In this case, the attributes are applied to the characters you input later. You cannot use this method to assign text effects.

After inputting some characters

This method lets you change the attributes being applied to the text you are inputting. You cannot use this method to assign text effects.

After you finish inputting text

Use this method to change the attributes of the text you have finished inputting. Text effects can be assigned only for text that is already input.

The techniques to use for each of the above cases are described below.

Important!

• Character attributes you specify affect printed text only. The characters on the display do not change.
• Remember that character attributes are assigned to specific characters, not to positions on the display.
  Text effects are applied to both displayed text and printed text.

To specify attributes before inputting characters

When there are no characters on the display, simply specify the character attributes you want. The characters that you input are then automatically assigned the attributes as you input them.

• See the following pages of this manual for details on specifying attributes.

Font - page 29

Style - page 30

Size - page 32

• If you change the character size, a symbol appears to show where the size change takes place.

To change attributes in the middle of text

1. Input text using the initial attributes.

2. Perform one of the character attribute change operations.

3. See the following pages of this manual for details on specifying attributes.
   Font - page 29
   Style - page 30
   Size - page 32

4. Whenever you perform an attribute change operation after inputting some text, a message appears asking from where you want to begin the change.

5. Press SET.

6. This causes a message to appear asking up to which point you want the change to take effect.

7. Press SET.

8. Note that you should specify the points for FROM? and TO? in this operation.

9. Any characters you now input will use the attributes you specified in step 2, above.
10. If you change the character size, a symbol appears to show where the size change takes place.

To change attributes or effects of existing text

1. After inputting text, perform one of the character attribute or text effect change operations.

2. See the following pages of this manual for details on actually specifying attributes.

• Note that the TO? point can be either to the left or to the right of the FROM? point.

• Press SET to make the change

• If you change the character size, a symbol appears to show where the size change takes place.

Important!

• All of the following examples show how to make changes in existing text.

Changing Fonts

There are two fonts that you can select: serif and sans-serif. The following shows examples of each type of font:

Serif:

Sans-serif:

ABC. XYZ

ABC. XYZ

The following section describes how to change the font setting and how you can find out what the current setting is.

Important!

• Note that you cannot make font changes for illustrations.
• Some symbols do not change even when you select a different font.

How to tell the current font settings

Use the and cursor keys to move the cursor around the display. The sans-serif indicator will appear on the display when the cursor is located under a sans-serif character, and it will disappear from the display when the cursor is located under a serif character.

To change the font setting

2. The text that will be affected by the change is highlighted as you move the cursor.

3. When all the characters you want to change to the new style are highlighted, press SET to apply the change and return to the text input screen.

Important!

If you change the character style for character sizes L2 × 3 or any "S" character sizes, the edges of the printed characters may be broken.

Changing Character Size

There are seven character sizes that you can specify manually, plus six more that the Label Printer automatically applies. The following table shows all of the character sizes available. The unshaded sizes are those you can specify manually, while the shaded sizes are those that are applied automatically (and cannot be specified manually).

Indicator	Size of each printed character (mm)	Indicator	Size of each printed character (mm)
1 × 1	3 × 3	S1 × 1	2 × 2
1 × 2	3 × 6	S1 × 2	2 × 4
1 × 3	3 × 9	S1 × 3	2 × 6
2 × 1	6 × 3	S2 × 1	4 × 2
2 × 2	6 × 6	S2 × 2	4 × 4
2 × 3	6 × 9	S2 × 3	4 × 6
L2 × 3	8 × 9

Important!

• Note that certain character style and effects may result in poor print quality. This does not indicate malfunction of the Label Printer.
• When the character size you select causes the text to become too large to fit on the tape you are using, the Label Printer automatically reduces the character size to fit. When this happens, the character size indicator shows the character size selected by the Label Printer. The character size indicator is highlighted to show that your selected size was adjusted to fit the tape.

About Auto Fit

If you do not specify a character size, the Label Printer automatically selects the optimum size that can be used to fit all of the characters on the tape. When using 9 to 18mm wide tape, for example, the Label Printer automatically uses 2× 2 characters as the initial default. If you insert a newline mark inside the text (see "To input alpha-numeric characters"), the default character size automatically changes to 1× 1 so both lines of text can fit on the tape.

About the FIT mark

Whenever you change the size of some of the characters on the display, the Label Printer recalculates the optimum size of all the remaining characters. It also recalculates when you input a newline mark () . When this happens, the Label Printer automatically inserts a fit mark (比) inside the text, which indicates that all text to the right of it is automatically adjusted to make it fit on the tape.

You can delete a fit mark, but if you do, the character size indicator will become highlighted to indicate that characters will be automatically adjusted to a size that can be printed.

How to tell the current size settings

Size marks on the display show where characters sizes change.

To change the characters size

Example: To change "ABXYZ" in the following text to 1 × 1 , leaving the remaining characters at 2 × 2 .

ABXYZ Computer Company

1. Input the text.
2. Press SIZE to display a menu of sizes.

1. Use and to highlight to 1× 1 , and then press SET.

1. Use and to move the cursor to the point where you want the size change to start.

2. In our example, you would move to either "A" or "Z".

3. Since "A" is the first character, you can make the cursor jump directly there by pressing FUNC and then .

4. Press SET and the letter at the cursor location becomes highlighted.

1. Use and to move the cursor to the other end of the range you want to change.

2. The text that will be affected by the change is highlighted as you move the cursor.

3. When all the characters you want to change to the new size are highlighted, press SET to apply the change and return to the text input screen.

Notes

• You can delete a character size change by moving the cursor to the character size indicator on the display and deleting the indicator using BS or DEL.
• Standard size characters (sizes without "S" in front of them) are proportionally spaced.

Assigning Text Effects

You can assign text effects only to text that has already been input. If you later input text in between existing text that is already assigned a text effect, the inserted text is also assigned the effect assigned to the text on the left and right.

Important!

• The text effects are applied to text on the display, in addition to the printed text.

Changing Text Effects

There are three text effects that you can assign: shading, underlining, and boxed text. The following shows examples of each effect:

Shading:

ABC. XYZ

Boxed Text:

ABC. XYZ

Underlining:

ABC. XYZ

The following section describes how to assign and remove text effects.

Note

Note that you can assign multiple effects to the same text.

To assign text effects

Example: To shade "ABXYZ" in the following text.

ABXYZ Computer Company

1. Input the text.

2. Press EFFECT to display a menu of effects.

3. Use and to highlight SHADING, and then press SET.

1. Use and to move the cursor to the point from which you want the effect to start.

2. In our example, you would move to either "A" or "Z".

3. Since "A" is the first character, you can make the cursor jump directly there by pressing FUNC and then .

4. Press SET and the letter at the cursor location becomes highlighted.

1. Use and to move the cursor to the other end of the range to which you want to assign the effect.

2. The text that will be assigned the effect is highlighted as you move the cursor.

3. Note that you can assign effects to one block at a time. You cannot select text across multiple blocks to assign effects.

4. When all the characters to which you want to assign the effects are highlighted, press SET to assign the effects and return to the text input screen.

Note that the characters on the display are shaded.

Important!

• When using the box effect with two lines of text, the result you get depends on how you select the text. Note the following text.

ABXYZ Computer Company

If you assign the box effect to "ABXYZ" and "Computer Company" separately, you get the following result.

ABXYZ

Computer Company

If you assign the box effect to the entire text (From "A" to "y"), you get the following result.

ABXYZ Computer Company

To remove text effects

Example: To remove the shading from "ABXYZ" in the following text.

ABXYZ Computer Company

Note

• The following operation removes all effects assigned to the text you specify.

Part 6

FORM Menu Functions

This part of the manual describes how to use the FORM menu to layout your text exactly the way you want it on the label. With the FORM menu, you can control character pitch, text blocks, text alignment, and a wide range of other features.

Fundamentals of Label Layout

Before we actually begin our discussion about how to layout a tape, we should first define a few terms. Note the following illustration.

Blocks

A block is text that is enclosed between two block marks (B). Note that the first (far left) block does not require a block mark at the beginning, and the last (far right) block does not require a block mark at the end. If there are no block marks, all of the text is treated as a single block. You can individually specify the length of each block, as well as the pitch and the number of lines inside each block.

- Print Area

The print area is the actual area of a label that contains printed text. It starts with the left side of the first character printed, and ends with the right side of the last character printed.

- Side Spaces

The side spaces are blank areas that the Label Printer automatically adds on either end of the print area. Note that side spaces are only added when you are using auto feed, and they are not added when using manual feed (see "Auto Feed").

Auto Feed (with long side spaces)

ABXYZ

Auto Feed (with short side spaces)

ABXYZ

Manual Feed

ABXYZ

Label Length

The label length is the print area, plus the side spaces.

Settings you make for side spaces, block spacing, and mirror printing affect the entire label length.

Creating and Deleting Blocks

The following procedures describe how to create and delete blocks. Later you will learn how you can change certain settings on a block-by-block basis.

To create a block

Example: To input the text "ABXYZ Computer Company" and create two blocks: "ABXYZ" and "Computer Company".

1. Input the text.
2. Move the cursor to the space between "ABXYZ" and "Computer Company".

3. Press BLOCK.

4. If you wanted to break the text up into three blocks, you would input another block mark.

To delete a block mark

To delete a block mark, use the procedures for BS and DEL as described under "Deleting Individual Characters".

Character Pitch

The term character pitch refers to the relative spacing between characters. The Label Printer provides three character pitches from which to choose: NONE (0mm), NARROW (0.5mm), and WIDE (1mm).

The character pitch setting you make is applied only to the block where the cursor is located when you perform the setting operation.

• The default character pitch setting is NONE.

To specify the character pitch

Example: For the two-block text "ABXYZ", "Computer Company", to change the spacing of "ABXYZ" to WIDE.

1. Input the text and define the two blocks.
2. Use and to move the cursor so it is inside the block whose character pitch you want to change.
3. Press FORM to display the FORM menu.

LENGTH

PITCH

FEED

BL-SPACE

Yes SET No ESC A V

1. Use to highlight PITCH, and press SET.

2. Use and to select the character pitch you want.

3. You can select NONE, NARROW, or WIDE.

4. In this example, you should select WIDE.

5. After selecting the character pitch, press SET to apply the setting and return to the text input screen.

2× 2

14.4cm

ABXYZ

• It is impossible to change the PITCH setting while the cursor is located at a block mark (R) at the beginning of a block of text.

Block Length

You can individually specify the length of each block that makes up your label. If you are making title labels for the edge of binders, for example, you can specify a uniform length for the title, date, and author. This causes the text on the labels to be uniformly aligned when the binders are placed on a bookshelf.

The block length setting you make is applied only to the block where the cursor is located when you perform the setting operation.

To specify a block length

Example: To specify the following block lengths for the text noted below.

Text	Block Length
Monthly Sales	6.5 cm
Accounting Department	6.5 cm
1st Quarter 1995	6.5 cm

1. Input the text and define the three blocks.

2. Use and to move the cursor so it is inside the block whose length you want to change.

3. Press FORM to display the FORM menu.

4. Use and to highlight LENGTH, and press SET.

5. Use and to highlight FREE, and press SET.

6. Since there are six options on this menu, they do not all fit on a single screen. To view the two options at the bottom of the menu (FREE and CANCEL), press four times.

7. Use and to select B-LENGTH for the block length setting screen, and press SET.

1. Use to decrease the current block length setting value or to increase it.

2. Note that the tape length at the top of the display also changes when you change the block length.

3. After setting the block length (and tape length), press SET to apply the setting and return to the text input screen.

4. After making the setting, press SET to apply it.

The imager appears as illustrated below when you are using fixed block lengths.

[ ] Printing can be performed as specified.
[ (\equiv \equiv ] ] Printing can be performed using the length specified, but characters are condensed horizontally.
Printi ng cannot be performed as specified. The error message "TEXT DOES NOT FIT!" appears on the display.

To cancel block length settings

1. Press FORM to display the FORM menu.

2. Use and to highlight LENGTH, and press SET.

3. Press SET to cancel the block length setting for all the blocks and return to the text input screen.

Important!

• If you input a block mark while inputting new text, the text to the right of the block mark inherits its block-specific settings (block length and pitch) from the block to the left of the block mark. If you specify a block length and then input "ABC DEF" for example, both "ABC" and "DEF" have the same block length and pitch settings.
• If you change the block-specific settings of a block of text after inputting a block mark, only the selected block is affected. If you change the settings of "ABC" in the above example, the settings of "DEF" remain unchanged.

Tape Length

You can specify the physical length of tape that should be used for printing your text. There are six different settings that you can use to specify the tape length.

VHS

This setting automatically sets the tape length so it is suitable for use as a label for a VHS video tape cassette.

- 8mm

This setting automatically sets the tape length so it is suitable for use as a label for an 8mm video tape cassette.

CASSETTE

This setting automatically sets the tape length so it is suitable for use as a label for an audio cassette tape case.

FLOPPY

This setting automatically sets the tape length so it is suitable for use as a label for a floppy disk.

FREE

Use this setting to set the tape to any length that you want.

- CANCEL

This setting cancels any of the above settings and instructs the Label Printer to automatically set the tape length.

To select a preset tape length

Example: Layout an audio cassette tape case label with the text "MY FAVORITE SONGS".

1. Input the text.
2. Press FORM to display the FORM menu.

1. Use and to highlight LENGTH, and press SET.

1. Use and the highlight CASSETTE.
2. Press SET to apply the setting and return to the text input screen.
3. If the text you input is too long to fit within the tape length you specified, the error message TEXT DOES NOT FIT! appears on the display for about one second. When this happens, try making the characters smaller or inserting newline marks (see "To input alpha-numeric characters") to make the text fit better on the tape.

To specify your own tape length

Example: To specify a tape length of 10cm for the text "ABXYZ Computer Company".

1. Input the text.
2. Press FORM to display the FORM menu.

1. Use and to highlight LENGTH, and press SET.

1. Use and to highlight FREE, and press SET.

2. Since there are six options on this menu, they do not all fit on a single screen. To view the two options at the bottom of the menu (FREE and CANCEL), press four times.

1. Use and to select T-LENGTH and then press SET.

2. Use to decrease the current tape length setting value or to increase it.

3. After setting the tape length, press SET to apply the setting and return to the text input screen.
4. If the text you input is too long to fit within the tape length you specified, the error message TEXT DOES NOT FIT! appears on the display for about one second. When this happens, try making the characters smaller or inserting newline marks (see "To input alpha-numeric characters") to make the text fit better on the tape.

To cancel a tape length setting

1. Press FORM to display the FORM menu.
2. Use and to highlight LENGTH, and press SET.
3. Use and to highlight CANCEL.
4. Press SET to cancel the tape length setting and return to the text input screen.

Auto Feed

You can switch the Label Printer's auto feed feature on and off. You can also specify one of two different feed settings that provides either large or small side spaces ("Fundamentals of Label Layout"). You can choose any one of the three following operations for tape feed.

- Auto Feed (LONG)

This setting causes the tape to feed 16mm at the beginning and end of each printing, creating 16mm side spaces.

- Auto Feed (SHORT)

This setting causes the tape to feed 5mm at the beginning and end of each printing, creating 5mm side spaces.

When using the SHORT feed option, the message "CUT THEN [SET]!" appears as soon as you press PRINT. Operate the cutter to cut off the leading end of the tape and press SET to continue the print operation.

- Manual Feed (M-FEED)

This setting provides side spaces of only 1mm of the printed text. If you perform two consecutive print operations (without manually feeding between prints), the last character of the first print operation is followed by the first character of the second print operation, with no space provided between them. It is a good way to save tape when you print a series of tapes.

Important!

• After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press FUNC and then FEED to feed the tape before cutting it. If you don't, you will cut off part of the printed text.

To select a feed option

1. Press FORM to display the FORM menu.
2. Use and to highlight FEED, and press SET.

1. Use and to highlight the option that you want (LONG, SHORT, M-FEED).

Part 7

Quick Formats

The quick formats in the Label Printer's memory let you make character size settings with the touch of a key. Then you simply input your text, which is automatically assigned the character sizes according to the quick format you selected.

The following shows each of the selections available in the menu of quick formats, and the character sizes for each line.

Text	Block
CANCEL	Cancels a built-in format specification.
——	Line 1: 1×1
——	Line 1: 2×2
——	Line 1: L2×3
——	Line 1: 1×1 Line 2: 1×1
——	Line 1: S1×1 Line 2: S1×1 Line 3: S1×1
——	Line 1: S1×1 Line 2: S1×1 Line 3: S2×2
——	Line 1: S1×1 Line 2: S2×2 Line 3: S1×1
——	Line 1: S2×2 Line 2: S1×1 Line 3: S1×1
——	Line 1: S1×1 Line 2: S1×1 Line 3: S1×1 Line 4: S1×1

Important!

• Built-in formats affect character sizes only. Preset layouts (page 51) also include specifications for tape length, font attributes, etc.
• You can make attribute, font, and other specifications inside of a quick format, but you cannot specify a character size.
• Selecting a quick format also limits the number of lines you can input. If you select a 2-line format, for example, inputting a second newline mark (()) causes an error message to appear on the display.

• If the text you input has fewer lines than the selected format, the unused lines are left blank.

• You can assign different quick format settings for each block. This means you can have a 4-line block, followed by a 2-line block, etc.

• If you insert a block mark (B) inside formatted text, the text to the left of the block mark retains the formatting but the text to the right of the block mark is not affected by the formatting.
• Remember that you can use only 2-line formats with 6mm tape. If you specify a format with more than two lines while using 6mm tape, the error message TOO MANY LINES! appears on the display. The error input display shown on the right appears when you try to print.
• When editing text, it is impossible to select a format that has fewer lines than the text you are editing.
  TOOMANY LINES!
  NoESC

Printing

In addition to the procedure you should follow in order to actually print, this part of the manual also includes information on a number of other useful printing features and functions.

Printing Precautions

• Never switch power off while printing is being performed.
• Make sure that the tape outlet is not blocked before you start printing.
• Make sure the tape cartridge compartment cover is closed when cutting the tape.
• Never operate the tape cutter while printing is being performed (indicated by the message NOW PRINTING on the display).
• During printing at very high density, printing of very long text, or repeat printing of the same text a number of times, the Label Printer may stop printing for about five seconds. This is not a malfunction, and normal printing should resume shortly.
