FORM Menu Functions

This part of the manual describes how to use the FORM menu to layout your text exactly the way you want it on the label. With the FORM menu, you can control character pitch, text blocks, text alignment, and a wide range of other features.

Fundamentals of Label Layout

Before we actually begin our discussion about how to layout a tape, we should first define a few terms. Note the following illustration.

Blocks

Side space

•Blocks

A block is text that is enclosed between two block marks (). Note that the first (far left) block does not require a block mark at the beginning, and the last (far right) block does not require a block mark at the end. If there are no block marks, all of the text is treated as a single block. You can individually specify the length of each block, as well as the pitch and the number of lines inside each block.

•Print Area

The print area is the actual area of a label that contains printed text. It starts with the left side of the first character printed, and ends with the right side of the last character printed.

•Side Spaces

The side spaces are blank areas that the Label Printer automatically adds on either end of the print area. Note that side spaces are only added when you are using auto feed, and they are not added when using manual feed (see “Auto Feed”).
