SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS
The character size can be adjusted using both the Size and Width functions. Since the charac-
ter size that can be used depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the char-
acter sizes that can be used with each tape width.
The default size setting is AUTO and the default width setting is MEDIUM. The currently
selected size setting is always shown by the indicator above the display. In addition, all of the
size indicators light up when the AUTO setting is selected. When either the NARROW or
WIDE width setting is selected, the Width indicator lights up.
With the AUTO size setting, the machine compares your text with the width of the installed
tape and automatically adjusts the characters to the largest possible size. However, seven
other point sizes are also available and each can be printed in narrow or wide characters.

With the AUTO setting selected and 1” (24-mm)-wide tape installed, text consisting of
only capital letters will be printed with a character size of 60 point.
