It also tells you how to assign text effects like underlining, shading, and box printing, and how to select character styles like normal, outline, shadow, and raised.
Character Size
There are two methods you can use to set the character size: AUTO and MANUAL. With AUTO (Justification Mode), character size is set automatically in accordance with the tape size you are using and the number of lines you are printing. MANUAL lets you set the character size manually.
