Changing Character Size
There are seven character sizes that you can specify manually, plus six more that the Label
Printer automatically applies. The following table shows all of the character sizes available.
The unshaded sizes are those you can specify manually, while the shaded sizes are those
that are applied automatically (and cannot be specified manually).
Important!
• Note that certain character style and effects may result in poor print quality. This does
not indicate malfunction of the Label Printer.
• When the character size you select causes the text to become too large to fit on the tape
you are using, the Label Printer automatically reduces the character size to fit. When this
happens, the character size indicator shows the character size selected by the Label
Printer. The character size indicator is highlighted to show that your selected size was
adjusted to fit the tape.
About Auto Fit
If you do not specify a character size, the Label Printer automatically selects the optimum
size that can be used to fit all of the characters on the tape. When using 9 to 18mm wide
tape, for example, the Label Printer automatically uses 2×2 characters as the initial default.
If you insert a newline mark inside the text (see “To input alpha-numeric characters”), the
default character size automatically changes to 1×1 so both lines of text can fit on the tape.
About the FIT mark
Whenever you change the size of some of the characters on the display, the Label Printer
recalculates the optimum size of all the remaining characters. It also recalculates when you
input a newline mark ( ). When this happens, the Label Printer automatically inserts a fit
mark (
FIT
) inside the text, which indicates that all text to the right of it is automatically ad-
justed to make it fit on the tape.
You can delete a fit mark, but if you do, the character size indicator will become highlighted
to indicate that characters will be automatically adjusted to a size that can be printed.
