LABEL PRINTING

Printing a Label

After entering the text and formatting the label, you are ready to print your label. In addition to printing a single copy of a label, your P-touch has several printing features that allow you to print multiple copies of a label, sequentially numbered labels and mirror-printed labels.

• Do not pull the label coming out of the tape exit slot. Doing so will cause the ink ribbon to be discharged with the tape.

•Do not block the tape exit slot during printing or when feeding tape. Doing so will cause the tape to jam.

•Be sure to check that there is enough tape remaining when printing several labels continuously. If tape is running low, set fewer copies or print labels one at a time.

•Striped tape indicates the end of the tape cassette. If this appears during printing, press the key to turn the P-touch off. Continuing printing may cause damage.
