Machine Adjustments
Various functions are available for changing and adjusting the operation of the P-touch.
Selecting how tape is fed and cut
The Cut function enables you to specify how the tape is fed out after it is printed. The
settings of the Cut function consist of combinations of two different cut methods:
cut-pause (where the machine stops printing so the label can be cut) and chain printing
(where the last copy is not fed out to be cut, reducing the amount of tape that is wasted).
Chain printing is an economical function designed to help eliminate “wasted tape”
at the beginning of labels. Without chain printing, the excess from the previous printing
session is cut before the first label in the current session is printed. However, if a setting
using chain printing is selected, the last label in the previous session remains in the
machine (is not fed out), so that the next label can be printed without wasting tape. When
the last label is printed, press f to feed the chain of labels, and then press the tape
cutter button to cut it.
The following settings are available: (The default setting is 1.)
1 Press g, then Z.
2 Press l or r until CUT is displayed.
3 Press u or d until the desired setting is displayed, and then press n.
Adjusting the display contrast
The display can be made lighter or darker by selecting a setting between -2 and +2. (The
default setting is 0.)
Select a higher value to increase the contrast (make the display darker).
Select a lower value to decrease the contrast (make the display lighter).
