• Never let paper clips, pins or other foreign objects get into

the tape outlet slot or printer of the label printer.

• Do not pile heavy objects on top of the label printer.

• Never try to take the label printer apart or attempt your

own maintenance.

• Do not drop your label printer and avoid strong impact.

• Do not pull on the tape or try to force it back into the label

printer.

• Never operate the tape cutter lever when a tape cartridge

is not loaded in the label printer. Doing so can damage

the cutter blade.

adaptor. Do not turn power on until the adaptor is con-

nected to the label printer and plugged into an AC outlet.

Warning!

Power On Recall Function

Whenever you turn power off, any input that is on the dis-

play is automatically stored in memory. Then the next time

you turn on power, the message “[SET] TO RECALL” ap-

pears on the display. Pressing SET when this message is

on the display recalls the text that was on the screen when

you last turned off power.

• Do not expose a battery to direct heat, do not short circuit

it, and do not try to take it apart.

• Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swal-

lowed, consult with a physician immediately.

To connect the AC adaptor

ing it for the first time, after you have not used it for a long

time, or if nothing happens when you turn power on.

Important! Resetting label printer memory clears its

memory of all input data.

After you finish using the label printer, turn it off and discon-

nect the AC adaptor.

utes, the label printer automatically turns power off. To re-

store power, press ON.

• Be sure that the plus (+) side of the battery is facing up

(so you can see it) when you install it in the label printer.

• Never leave a dead battery in the label printer.

• Remove the battery if you do not plan to use the label

printer for a long time.

• Replace the battery as soon as the low battery message

Important! Never try to push the tape back into the cas-

sette. Once tape is out of the cassette, there is no way to

wind it back in. Trying to do so can cause operational prob-

lems with the label printer.

start again from step 1 above.

Removing the Tape Cartridge

• Grasp the tape cartridge with your fingers as shown in

the illustration, and lift it straight up out of the label printer.

7. Use a pencil or some other thin object to take up slack in

the ink ribbon as shown in the illustration. Note that the

tape does not move at this time.

• If there is a cartridge already in the label printer, remove it

by grasping the cartridge on both sides with your thumb

and forefinger, and lift straight up.

3. Remove the stopper from a new tape cartridge and check

to see that the tape is ready to use.

• To make it easier to remove a narrow (6mm, 9mm) tape

cartridge, insert a pencil or some other thin, pointed ob-

ject under the right side of the tape and lift up, as shown

in the illustration.

• If the ink ribbon is slack when you load it into the label

printer, it can break or cause some other problem.

• Be sure to turn the ink ribbon take up spool only in the

direction indicated by the arrow (a).

• Turn the spool until the other spool (b) starts turning in

the direction noted by the arrow. This indicates there is no

slack in the ribbon.

4. Check to make sure that the end of the tape is not bent.

• If the end of the tape is bent, use scissors to cut off the

bent portion.

5. Make sure that the tape is under the tape guide and that

automatically unshifts (and the shift indicator disappears) as

soon as you input a character.

These indicators point to the character effect that is assigned

to the character where the cursor is currently located. You

can select between normal, bold, outline, shadow, and

raised.

About Auto Sizing

Important! You can use preset formats to specify charac-

ter sizes for lines of text only when there is no character

size specification already made inside of the text. If you press

the SIZE key while the cursor is located inside of a block

that already contains a character size indicator, the FOR-

MAT item will be dimmed on the SIZE menu, which means

it cannot be selected.

If you do not specify a character size, the label printer auto-

matically selects the optimum size in accordance with the

width of the tape you are using. If you are using frames

(page E-19), characters are automatically balanced with the

type of frame being used.

9 mm

6 mm

(See page E-19)

The following are examples of how auto sizing works.

To cancel superscripting and subscripting

1. While there is superscripted or subscripted text on the

display, press SIZE.

Superscript and Subscript

These menu options let you quickly and easily superscript

or subscript text. The label printer automatically adjusts the

size of the superscripted or subscripted text to balance it

with the text to which it is appended.

2. Use u and i to highlight “SUPER/SUB” and then press

SET.

3. Use u and i to highlight “CANCEL” and then press

SET.

4. Select the range of characters for which you want to can-

cel superscripting or subscripting. Use the same proce-

dures as those described following step 3 under “To su-

perscript or subscript characters”.

Important! Note that the Dingbats, the special numbers

and the Greek and Russian characters of the SYMBOL menu

cannot be superscripted or subscripted.

To superscript or subscript characters

1. While there is text on the display, press SIZE.

Label Length

The label length is the print area, plus the side spaces.

Settings you make for side spaces, block spacing, and mir-

ror printing affect the entire label length.

This part of the manual describes how to use the FORM menu

to layout your text exactly the way you want it on the label.

With the FORM menu, you can control character pitch, text

blocks, text alignment, and a wide range of other features.

Using the Layout Display

You can check the layout of your label at any time using the

layout display. The layout display shows all of the graphics

and text elements that make up your label to give you a

general idea of how the label is laid out.

2. Use u and i to highlight “SUPER/SUB” and then press

Ablock is text that is enclosed between two block marks ( ).

Note that the first (far left) block does not require a block mark

at the beginning, and the last (far right) block does not re-

quire a block mark at the end. If there are no block marks, all

of the text is treated as a single block. You can individually

specify the length of each block, as well as the pitch and the

number of lines of inside each block.

2. If the label layout is too big to fit on a single display, use u

and i to scroll it.

• Pressing u returns to the top of the layout.

Print Area

The print area is the actual area of a label that contains

printed text. It starts with the left side of the first character

printed, and ends with right side of the last character printed.

3. Press ESC to quit the layout display.

• You can view the actual appearance of the label using the

Creating and Deleting Blocks

The following procedures describe how to create and de-

lete blocks. Later you will learn how can change certain

settings on a block-by-block basis.

The side spaces are blank areas that the Label Printer au-

tomatically adds on either end of the print area. Note that

side spaces are only added when you are using auto feed,

and they are not added when using manual feed.

MANUAL

This setting provides side spaces of only 1mm of the

printed text. If you perform two consecutive print op-

erations (without manually feeding between prints), the

last character of the first print operation is followed by

the first character of the second print operation, with

no space provided between them. It is a good way to

save tape when you print a series of tapes.

• Mirror printing (mirror, normal)

• Proportional character spacing (on, off)

• Smoothing (on, off)

• Block space (none, narrow, wide)

• Feed (long, short, manual)

• Tape length (auto, fixed)

Important! After you finish printing when using manual feed,

be sure to always press FUNC and then FEED to feed the

tape before cutting it. If you don’t you will cut off part of the

printed text.

• Block alignment (left, center, right, uniform spacing)
