Caution  
amounts of dust. Such conditions create the danger of fire and elec-  
trical shock.  
AC Adaptor  
Do not leave the power cord near stoves or other sources of intense  
heat. Doing so can melt power cord insulation and create the danger  
of fire and electrical shock.  
When unplugging the power cord from the wall socket, grasp the  
plug. Never pull on the cord itself. Doing so can damage the power  
cord and create the danger of fire and electrical shock.  
Whenever leaving the unit unattended for long periods, be sure to  
unplug it from the wall socket.  
Avoid leaving the unit on a kitchen table, next to a humidifier, or in  
any other area where it might come into contact with oil vapors or  
steam. Such conditions create the danger of fire and electrical shock.  
Never place heavy objects on the unit. Doing so creates the danger  
of the unit falling, resulting in personal injury.  
Batteries  
Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak acid that can cause dam-  
age to nearby items and creates the possibility of personal injury.  
At least once a year, unplug the AC power cord from the electrical  
outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up  
around the prongs creates the danger of fire.  
Be sure that the plus (+) and minus (–) sides of each battery are  
facing correctly.  
Whenever moving the unit, be sure to unplug it from the wall socket.  
Leaving the unit plugged in when it is being moved can result in dam-  
age to the power cord and create the danger of fire and electrical  
shock.  
Never mix batteries of different types.  
Never mix new batteries and dead batteries.  
Whenever cleaning the unit, be sure to unplug it from the wall socket.  
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use KL-70E for a long  
time.  
When you are through using the unit, use its power switch to turn it  
off and then unplug it from the wall socket.  
Use only the battery type specified for this label printer in this manual.  
Avoid unstable areas  
Never place the unit on a wobbly table or a high shelf. Doing so can  
cause it to fall, resulting in personal injury.  
Memory  
Always keep separate written copies of any information you store in  
the memory of this label printer. Data stored in memory can be unex-  
pectedly lost due to malfunction, repair, dead battery, etc.  
Water and other foreign matter  
Never allow coffee, juice, or other drinks, or flower vases to spill on  
the unit. Liquid spilled on the unit creates the danger of fire and elec-  
trical shock. Should liquid ever spill onto the unit, immediately turn off  
power and unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Request serv-  
icing from your original dealer.  
Never allow metal objects or combustible materials to get into the air  
vents of the unit. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electrical  
shock.  
Loading and replacing batteries  
Do not touch the springs inside the battery compartment cover with  
your fingers while loading or replacing batteries. The springs have  
sharp areas and can cut your fingers.

2. Input the new characters (XYZ).  
Important!  
Inputting the new characters causes them to be inserted at the cursor posi-  
tion. The existing characters are opened up to make room for the new char-  
acters.  
Any character size specification you make is applied to all the characters on  
the display. You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.  
The Label Printer automatically adjusts the character size whenever you in-  
put a B symbol to create a 2-line label as shown below.  
Deleting the B symbol with a backspace or delete operation reverts to the  
initial (unadjusted) character size.

Text Effects  
There are three text effects that you can assign:shading, underlining, and boxed  
text. The following shows examples of each.  
Shading:  
Part 6 Printing  
Underlining:  
Boxed Text:  
This part of the manual includes all the information you need to print tapes. It  
also tells you how to print special stamp tapes that you can attach to an optional  
stamp holder to create your own original stamps.  
Printing Precautions  
Never turn power off while printing is being performed.  
Text effect changes are applied to printed text only. The appearance of the  
displayed text does not change, but the text effect indicators will show you  
when a text effect is being used.  
Make sure that the tape outlet is not blocked before you start printing.  
Never operate the tape cutter while printer is being performed (indicated by  
the message PRNTon the display).  
During printing at very high density, printing of very long text, or repeat print-  
ing of the same text a number of times, the Label Printer may stop printing for  
about five seconds. This is not a malfunction, and normal printing should  
resume shortly (indicated by the message P R N Ton the display).  
Important!  
Any text effect specification you make is applied to all the characters on the  
display. You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.  
To specify a text effect  
Example: To shade the text ABXYZ.  
Important!  
Never touch the tape cutter while a tape cut operation is being performed.  
Doing so can result in cuts and other personal injury.

2. After the print operation is complete, press down on the tape cutter button to  
cut the tape.  
3. Use scissors to trim the tape to the size you want, if necessary.  
After you print a tape, you can peel off its paper  
backing and stick the tape onto the object you  
want. Note that the tape will not stick on coarse,  
wet, oily, or soiled surfaces. Also, you should not  
try to use the tape where it is exposed to direct  
sunlight or rain. Do not stick the tape onto hu-  
man skin.  
A mark appears next to the STAMP indicator on the display when mirror print-  
ing is turned on.  
If the text you input in step 1 is too long to fit within the maximum length you  
specified, an error message (page 21) appears when you press SET.

3. Press SET to print the stamp tape or ESC to abort the print operation and  
return to the text input display in step 1.  
After the printing is complete, the Label Printer returns to the input display in  
step 1.  
Tape  
An easy way to remove the backing from a tape  
and expose the adhesive surface is to bend the  
tape near one of its ends. This should cause the  
tape and its backing to separate, allowing you to  
pull them apart.  
4. Cut off the tape and affix it to the optional stamp holder.  
See the instructions that come with the optional stamp holder for information  
about how to attach the stamp tape.  
Mirror Image Printing  
When you specify mirror image for text, it is printed in reverse image. Use mir-  
ror image when you plan to print on transparent tape, with the printing on the  
inside. When viewed through the transparent tape, the text will appear normal.  
You can also use mirror image printing when using iron-on transfer tape to print  
iron-on transfers.  
Stamp Printing  
The stamp printing feature lets you print on special stamp tape. You can then  
attach the finished stamp tape to an optionally available stamp holder to create  
your own original pre-inked stamps. The following is the type of stamp holder  
currently available for use with stamp tapes.

Other Printing Features and Operations  
The following are other operations and settings that you may need to use when  
printing.  
2. Use H and J to move the underlining to the density setting that you want.  
The lightest setting is 1, while the darkest setting is 5.The standard setting is 3.  
Only four of the five settings that are available can appear on the display. The  
display scrolls left and right when necessary to show all of the available settings.  
Auto Feed  
3. When the density setting is the way you want it, press SET to register it.  
You can turn the Label Printers auto feed feature on and off. When auto feed is  
on, the Label Printer automatically feeds the tape about 17.1mm at the begin-  
ning and end of each print operation. This creates identical margins on both  
sides of your text.  
Important!  
Part 7 Memory  
After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press  
FUNCTION and then PRINT (FEED) to feed the tape before cutting it. If you  
dont you will cut off part of the printed text.
