Part 6 Printing

This part of the manual includes all the information you need to print tapes. It also tells you how to print special stamp tapes that you can attach to an optional stamp holder to create your own original stamps.

Printing Precautions

• Never turn power off while printing is being performed.
• Make sure that the tape outlet is not blocked before you start printing.
• Never operate the tape cutter while printer is being performed (indicated by the message "PRNT" 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 (indicated by the message “P R N T” on the display).

Important!

- Never touch the tape cutter while a tape cut operation is being performed. Doing so can result in cuts and other personal injury.

Printing a Tape

Printing a tape is as easy as pressing the PRINT key.

To print a tape

1. Press the PRINT key to print a tape of the text you have input and laid out.

2. To stop a print operation that is in progress, press ESC.

3. After the print operation is complete, press down on the tape cutter button to cut the tape.

4. Use scissors to trim the tape to the size you want, if necessary.

- After you print a tape, you can peel off its paper backing and stick the tape onto the object you want. Note that the tape will not stick on coarse, wet, oily, or soiled surfaces. Also, you should not try to use the tape where it is exposed to direct sunlight or rain. Do not stick the tape onto human skin.

Backing Tape

- An easy way to remove the backing from a tape and expose the adhesive surface is to bend the tape near one of its ends. This should cause the tape and its backing to separate, allowing you to pull them apart.

Stamp Printing

The stamp printing feature lets you print on special stamp tape. You can then attach the finished stamp tape to an optionally available stamp holder to create your own original pre-inked stamps. The following is the type of stamp holder currently available for use with stamp tapes.

Type	Maximum Stamp Size	Example
ST-15	5.5cm

Note the following important points about stamp printing.

• Stamp printing prints text in mirror image.
• Stamp printing is impossible while 6mm is specified as the tape width.
• An error message (ERR!) appears on the display and the Label Printer refuses to print whenever you try to print text that is longer than the maximum length you specify.

To print a stamp tape

1. Input the text you want to print.
2. Press FUNCTION and then 7 (STAMP).

PRN? : — STAMP — MIRROR

• A mark appears next to the STAMP indicator on the display when mirror printing is turned on.
• If the text you input in step 1 is too long to fit within the maximum length you specified, an error message (page 21) appears when you press SET.
• Press SET to print the stamp tape or ESC to abort the print operation and return to the text input display in step 1.
• After the printing is complete, the Label Printer returns to the input display in step 1.
• Cut off the tape and affix it to the optional stamp holder.
• See the instructions that come with the optional stamp holder for information about how to attach the stamp tape.

Frames

There are three frames that you can assign. The following shows examples of each.

Important!

- Any text effect specification you make is applied to all the characters on the display. You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.

To specify a frame.

1. Input the text.
2. Press FUNCTION 5 (FRAME) to display a menu of frames.
3. Use ◀ and ▶ to move the cursor to the frame you want to use.
4. When the cursor is located under the frame you want to specify, press SET to select it. The text with the frame will be printed out, and return to the text display.

Mirror Image Printing

When you specify mirror image for text, it is printed in reverse image. Use mirror image when you plan to print on transparent tape, with the printing on the inside. When viewed through the transparent tape, the text will appear normal. You can also use mirror image printing when using iron-on transfer tape to print iron-on transfers.

Normal

ABC.XYZ

Mirror Image

ABC.XY5

To turn mirror image printing on and off

1. Press FUNCTION and then 8 (MIRROR).

1. Press ◀, ▶, ▲ or ▼ to change the setting shown on the display between ON (mirror printing) and OFF (normal).
