Part 9 Stamp Printing

The stamp printing feature lets you print on special stamp tape. You can then attach the finished stamp tape to an optionally available stamp holder to create your own original pre-inked stamps. The following is the type of stamp holder currently available for use with stamp tapes.

Type

Maximum Stamp Size

Example

ST-15

5.5cm

10mm 18mm

5.5cm

9.3cm

Note the following important points about stamp printing.

∙Stamp printing prints text in mirror image.

∙You can perform stamp printing only when 18mm is specified as the tape width.

∙An error message “STAMP ERROR!” appears on the display and the Label Printer refuses to print whenever you try to print text that is longer than the maximum length you specify.

To print a stamp tape

1.Input the text you want to print.

2.Press FUNC and then 2 (STAMP).

P R I N T ?

∙An error message (page E-24) appears if the text that you input in step 1 is too long to fit within the maximum length you specified.

3.Press SET to print the stamp tape or ESC to abort the print operation and return to the text input display in step 1.

∙After the printing is complete, the Label Printer returns to the input display in step 1.

4. Cut off the tape and affix it to the optional stamp holder.

∙See the instructions that come with the optional stamp holder for information about how to attach the stamp tape.
