Part 6 Character Sizes

Your label printer comes with two basic typefaces: standard and small. You can adjust the size of characters either by direct specifying for each character or specifying character size for entire lines of text using preset formats.

The operations in this part of the manual explain how to change character sizes using each of these techniques.

Direct Specification of Character Sizes

You can specify the size of characters using the numeric factors shown in the tables below. A character size change is indicated on the display by a character size indicator.

Standard Typeface

•The normal size for the standard typeface is 1 ⋅ 1 (24 ⋅ 24 dots; 3mm ⋅ 3mm).

•Character size can be changed by specifying a vertical factor (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and a horizontal factor (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).

•The table below shows the character size indicator val- ues that appear for each character size.

Vertical	1	1 ⋅ 1	1 ⋅ 2	1 ⋅ 3	1 ⋅ 4	1 ⋅ 5	1 ⋅ 6	1 ⋅ 7	1 ⋅ 8
	2	2 ⋅ 1	2 ⋅ 2	2 ⋅ 3	2 ⋅ 4	2 ⋅ 5	2 ⋅ 6	2 ⋅ 7	2 ⋅ 8
	3	3 ⋅ 1	3 ⋅ 2	3 ⋅ 3	3 ⋅ 4	3 ⋅ 5	3 ⋅ 6	3 ⋅ 7	3 ⋅ 8

	5	5 ⋅ 1	5 ⋅ 2	5 ⋅ 3	5 ⋅ 4	5 ⋅ 5	5 ⋅ 6	5 ⋅ 7	5 ⋅ 8

Important! The vertical character sizes you can use are automatically limited by the width of the tape loaded in the label printer.

Tape Width	VerticaI Character Sizes
6mm	1
9mm	1, 2
12mm	1, 2, 3
18mm	1, 2, 3, 4, 5
24mm	1, 2, 3, 4, 5

•The range (From - To settings) for a character size speci- fication cannot extend from one block to another.

Small Typeface

•The normal size for the small typeface is 1 ⋅ 1 (16 ⋅ 16 dots; 2mm ⋅ 2mm). 8 ⋅ 16 dots matrix is used to form alpha-numeric characters and symbols.

•Character size can be changed by specifying a vertical factor (1, 2, 3, 4) and a horizontal factor (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

•The table below shows the character size indicator val- ues that appear for each character size.

•The character size indicator 1 ⋅ 1 is shown on the display when the small typeface is being used.
