Printing a Fixed-Length Label

Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text.

You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.1”(2 mm) increments between 1.5” (40 mm) and 15.0” (400 mm). The preset fixed length is 4”(100 mm). Any change you make to the fixed-length setting remains in effect until you change it.

2.Press the up arrow to select Fixed Length On and then press .

3.Use the arrow keys to set the length.

4.Press .

After you print the label, you must reset the fixed- length label setting to OFF; otherwise, all your subsequent labels will print with this fixed length.

Adding Barcodes to Labels

The label maker can print barcodes in six standard formats: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, CODE-39, and CODE-128.

You can print a barcode on 3/4” (19 mm) and

1”(24 mm) labels; and you can print only one barcode per label.
