LABEL PRINTING

• Press the key to return to the previous step.

• Unless set otherwise, the tape is automatically cut after each copy is printed. Refer to “Tape Cutting Options” on page 47 to change this setting.

•Pressing the key when selecting the number of copies resets the value to 1, the default.

•Auto-numbering can also be applied to bar codes. When a bar code contains an auto- numbering sequence, no other fields in the label can contain an auto-numbering sequence.

•Only one auto-numbering sequence can be used in a label.

•Any symbols or other non-alphanumeric characters in the auto-numbering sequence are ignored.

•An auto-numbering sequence can only contain a maximum of five characters.

•Letters and numbers increase as shown below:

0	1	...9	0	...
A	B	...Z	A	...
a	b	...z	a	...
A0	A1	...A9	B0	...

Spaces (shown as underlines “_” in the example below) can be used to adjust the spacing between characters or to control the number of digits that are printed.

_9	10	...99	00	...
_Z	AA	...ZZ	AA	...
1_9	￿2_0	...9_9￿0_0 ￿...
