Part 6 Character Sizes

There are two methods you can use to set characters sizes:
Auto sizing and manual sizing.

Normally you should use auto sizing, except when you need to make particular
character size specifications yourself.
By using auto sizing, the character size is set automatically in accordance with
the tape size you are using and the number of lines you are printing.

About Auto Sizing

If you do not specify a character size, the label printer automatically selects the
optimum size in accordance with the width of the tape and the number of lines
you are using. If you are using frames (page E-33), characters are automati-
cally balanced with the type of frame being used.
The following table shows the character size for “Normal Justified Printing” and
“Frame Justified Printing”.
It also shows the specified size in accordance with the tape width and the num-
ber of lines.

Normal Justified Printing (Auto Sizing)

Frame Justified Printing (Auto Sizing)

Manual Sizing

Your label printer provides you with two different ways to change character
sizes manually: direct specification of character size and specification of char-
acter size for entire lines of text using preset format.
The operations in this part of the manual explain how to change character sizes
using each of these techniques.
