FEED

You can also one of two different feed settings that provides either long or short side spaces (“Fundamentals of Label Layout”). You can also specify manual feed.

LONG

This setting causes the tape to feed 16.5mm at the beginning and end of each printing.

SHORT

This setting causes the tape to feed 3mm at the beginning and end of each printing.

MANUAL

This setting provides side spaces of only 1mm of the printed text. If you perform two consecutive print operations (without manually feeding between prints), the last character of the first print operation is followed by the first character of the second print operation, with no space provided between them. It is a good way to save tape when you print a series of tapes.

Important! After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press FUNC and then FEED to feed the tape before cutting it. If you don’t you will cut off part of the printed text.

TAPE LENGTH

Select “FIX” if you want so specify a fixed tape length in the range of 0.0 cm to 99.9 cm. Specify “AUTO” for this option if you want the label printer to automatically adjust the length of the tape.
