SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS
The character size can be adjusted using both the Size and Width functions. Since the charac- ter size that can be used depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the char- acter sizes that can be used with each tape width.
Tape widths | Sizes (in points) |
|
|
1/4” (6 mm) | 6, 9, 12 |
|
|
3/8” (9 mm) | 6, 9, 12, 18 |
|
|
1/2” (12 mm) | 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 |
|
|
3/4” (18 mm) | 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 42 |
|
|
1” (24 mm) | 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 42 |

The default size setting is AUTO and the default width setting is MEDIUM. The currently selected size setting is always shown by the indicators above the display. In addition, when a width setting other than MEDIUM is selected, the Width indicator comes on.
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. However, seven other point sizes are also available, and each can be printed with any of the three width settings.
