NOTE

With the AUTO setting selected and 1/2” (12- mm), 3/4” (18-mm), 1” (24-mm) or 1 1/2” (36- mm)-wide tape installed, the size of text with just one line and not containing lowercase let- ters or certain symbols is printed slightly larger.

If a very small text size is selected, the text may not be readable in WYSIWYG mode. When editing such small text, turn on the Zoom mode. For more details, refer to page 21.

Since the text sizes that can be printed depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the maximum text size that can be used with each tape width.
