EDITING A LABEL

• The actual printed font size depends on the tape width, number of characters and number of input lines. Once characters reach a minimum size, the selected font will default to a custom font which is based on the Helsinki style. This allows labels to print using the smallest text possible on narrow or multi-line labels.

• The 6 point font only prints in Helsinki, no other font type.

Setting Auto Fit Style

When "Size" is set to "Auto" and "Length" is set to a specific length, you can select the way of reducing the text size to fit within the label length.

When "Text Size" is selected, the total text size is modified to fit within the label. When "Text Width" is selected, the text width will be reduced to the size of x1/2 setting. (If further size reduction is required to fit the text into the selected label length, the total text size will be modified after reducing the text width to x1/2 setting.)
