Layout preview function
(d + 9)
The Layout preview function allows you to get a
general overview of the text within the width of
the currently installed tape. The length of the
current label is indicated in the lower-left corner
of the display.
To preview the label:
Rotate
r
until LAYOUT PREVIEW is dis-
played, and then press
r
(OR hold down
d
and press
9
).
Auto cut function (d + f)
Each setting of the Auto cut function consists of
settings for three different cut methods: full cut
(which is used to completely cut off the label),
half cut (which is used to cut laminated tape
without cutting the label backing, making it eas-
ier to remove the backing paper from labels),
and chain printing (where the last copy is not
cut off, 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
usual leftover tape from the previous printing
session is wasted before the first label in the cur-
rent session is printed.
However, if an Auto cut setting using chain print-
ing is selected, the last label in the previous ses-
sion 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 cut it.
When setting 1, 2, 3 or 4 is selected, the Auto
cut indicator in the upper-right corner of the dis-
play comes on, indicating that the labels will be
cut off after the last label in the chain is printed.
NOTE
To scroll the label preview back and forth,
rotate r (OR press j or k).
To return to the text at any time, press e (OR
hold down d and press 9).
