SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS

The character size can be adjusted using both the Size and Width functions. Since the character size that can be used depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the character sizes that can be used with each tape width.

Tape widths

The default size setting is AUTO and the default width setting is OFF. The currently selected size setting is always shown by the indicator above the display.

With the AUTO size setting, the machine compares your text with the width of the installed tape and automatically adjusts the characters to the largest possible size. How- ever, six other point sizes are also available and each can be printed in wide characters.
