Part 5 Character Size and Text Effects
This part of the manual explains how to change the size of characters. It also
tells you how to assign text effects like underlining, shading, and box printing.
Character SizeThe following table shows the six character sizes that are available.
*These sizes are not supported when using 6mm tape.
They are automatically converted as shown below.
2 ´ 1 ® 1 ´ 1
2 ´ 2 ® 1 ´ 2
2 ´ 3 ® 1 ´ 3
Character size changes are applied to printed text only. The size of the dis-
played text does not change.
Important!
·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.

a text effect is being used.
Important!
·Any text effect specification you make is applied to all the characters on the
display. You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.
·Underlining and boxed text may overlap with some characters.

Note
·You could also perform the above procedure in reverse, specifying the text
effect first and then inputting the text. Note that you cannot input a B symbol if you are using 6mm wide tape.
·The Label Printer automatically adjusts the character size whenever you de-
lete a B symbol to change a two-line label to a 1-line label.

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.

·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 Ò
PR NTÓ on the display).
