Printing Options

You can print multiple copies of a label at one time, print serialized labels, print fixed-length labels, review label text and format, and adjust the printing contrast.

Printing Multiple Copies

You can print up to 16 copies of a label at one time. When printing multiple copies, a dotted cut-line is printed between each label.

xYou may notice a brief pause in printing between each label for more complex formats.

Serializing Your Labels

You can print a series of labels with the last number incremented by one number. The number of labels serialized depends upon the number of copies you selected to print. Only the last series of numbers that follows any letter, space, or punctuation will be serialized. For example, abc123 will print as abc123, abc124, abc125; and 123-998 will print as 123-998, 123-999, 123-1000, and so on.

The labels automatically print, each label incremented by one number.

Printing a Fixed-Length Label

Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text.

You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.1”(2 mm) increments between 1.5” (40 mm) and 15.0” (400 mm). The preset fixed length is 4”(100 mm). Any change you make to the fixed-length setting remains in effect until you change it.

To set the label length

1. Press Shift + .

2.Press the up arrow to select Fixed Length On and then press .

3.Use the arrow keys to set the length.

4.Press .

After you print the label, you must reset the fixed- length label setting to OFF; otherwise, all your subsequent labels will print with this fixed length.

Adding Barcodes to Labels

The label maker can print barcodes in six standard formats: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, CODE-39, and CODE-128.

You can print a barcode on 3/4” (19 mm) and

1”(24 mm) labels; and you can print only one barcode per label.
