The newline mark indicates a newline operation.

Newline marks appear on the display only.

They are not printed on the tape.

•You can also insert a newline mark into existing text. Move the cursor to

the desired location, and then press .

•To delete a newline mark, move the cursor to it and then press DEL. Note that you cannot delete a newline mark by pressing BS.

•An indicator like “5/6” appears for the layout image indicator when the Small Font is selected for printing. This indicates that the total number of lines is 6, and the cursor is currently located in line 5. For details about using the Small Font, see page 33.

•The message “TOO MANY LINES!” appears if the width of the tape loaded in the printer is not compatible with the number of lines in the label you are creating. If this happens, reduce the number of lines or use a different width tape.

•See page 17 for information about printing the label.
