WORKING WITH TABS
Adding tabs to a label
You can add tabs within a label if you want to line up your
text over different lines. To enter a tab, press TAB. The
default length is 50mm. Tabs are only left-aligned.
SETTING A FIXED LENGTH FOR YOUR LABELS
Normally the length of your label depends on the length of
your text. You may wish to print a series of labels of the
same length - perhaps to label files or folders. The FIXED
LENGTH function allows you to set a fixed length for the
label. To set a fixed length, press length ( + ).
The fixed length indicator will be highlighted.
The last fixed length used by the printer will appear on the
display, for example:
You can change this setting in two ways.
• Either use the P or H keys to increase or decrease the
setting in steps of 1mm.
• Or key in the number using the number keys, starting
from the right-hand digit. Use Q to move one digit to
the left. Press to confirm.
Note if your fixed length is shorter than the text of your
label, an error message will flash.
To return to the automatic length mode, press again,
and the machine will return to the automatic length setting.
The fixed length indicator will no longer be highlighted.
