How do I eliminate the excess tape that is produced prior to every label printed?

Due to the construction of the tape mechanism, the one inch piece of tape that is produced prior to every label cannot be eliminated. However, when you print more than one label continuously, the subsequent labels can be printed without the excess tape.

The following methods are useful for reducing tape use:
 

Method 1 - Setting the margin to "small" when cutting the tape.

  1. Press the Tools key.

  2. Select the "Cut Option" menu.

  3. Select "Margin S".

  2. Select "Copies" or "Number".

  1. Press the Toolskey.

  2. Select the "Cut Option" menu.
