Tape Length function
(T. LENGTH)
Although the length of the printed label auto-
matically adjusts to fit the length of the entered
text, there may be times when you will want to
make a label with a specific length. The Tape
Length function allows you to set the label
length between 0.25" and 38.84" (0.6 cm and
99.5 cm).
The current Tape Length setting is shown in the
lower-left corner of the display.
To change the setting for the Tape Length
function:
1 Hold down d and press 1.
2 Press j or k until T. LENGTH is dis-
played. The current setting is shown on the
left side of the display.
3 Press m or g until the desired setting is
displayed, or use the number keys to type in
the desired tape length.
4 Press n to apply the setting.
Block Margin function
(B. MARGIN)
The width of the margins between text blocks
can be set between 0.00" and 12.00" (0.0 cm
and 30.0 cm). The left and right margins for
each text block will have a width that is the
specified setting. If the AUTO setting is selected,
the block margins will be 0.00" (0.0 cm) if only
one text block has been created and 0.13" (0.3
cm) if multiple text blocks have been created.
To change the setting for the Block Margin
function:
1 Hold down d and press 1.
2 Press j or k until B. MARGIN is dis-
played. The current setting is shown on the
left side of the display.
NOTE
The Tape Length setting is only applied to labels
printed on TZ tape. The label length of AV labels
cannot be adjusted.
NOTE
This step may be skipped if settings for several Glo-
bal Format functions are being applied at the same
time.
