•Character size can be changed by specifying a vertical factor (1, 2, 3, 4) and a horizontal factor (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
•The table below shows the character size indicator values that appear for each character size.
•The character size indicator 1 ∞ 1 is shown on the display when the small typeface is being used.

To change character size using direct specification
1.While there is text on the display, press SIZE.
2.Use u and i to highlight ”SIZE” and then press SET.
3.Specify the character size you want.
•Use t and y to move the highlighting between the two dimensions.
•To change a dimension, press i to increase it or u to decrease it. Or you can input a value directly on the label printer’s keyboard.
•Remember that the dimensions you can specify depend on the width of the tape loaded in the label printer (see table, left).
4.After you finish setting the character size you want, press SET to register it.
5.Move the cursor to the start character from which you want to change the character size and then press SET to register your selection.
6.Move the cursor to the end character up to which you want to change the character size and then press SET to register your selection and change the character size.
•At this point, the label printer returns to the text input screen. The following shows a character size mark.
Specifying Character Sizes for Lines of Text Using Preset Formats
With this method, you input the text you want and then use preset formats to specify the character size for each line of text. Note that character size marks do not appear inside of text when you specify character sizes using this method. Instead, the character size display mark shows the size of the characters where the cursor is currently located.
About the format menu
The format that appears in the following procedure uses symbols to indicate character sizes in each line of text. The formats that appear depend on the width of the tape loaded in the label printer and the number of lines in the block of text where the cursor is located when you press the SIZE key. The following shows all of the formats available for each tape width and the number of lines of text.
•Note that with the preset formats, all character sizes have the same vertical and horizontal measurements.
