How do I eliminate the margin from the start or end of my label when printing?
Due to the construction of the tape mechanism, approximately 23 mm (0.9") 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 method is useful for reducing tape use:
-
Press the [Label] key (
/
).
-
Press
or
to select [Cut Option], and then press the [OK] key or [Enter] key (
/
).
-
Press
or
to select [Small Margin], [Chain] or [No Cut], and then press the [OK] key or [Enter] key.
This eliminates the margin at the end of the tape after printing as shown below:Setting Description Example Small Margin A margin of 23 mm (0.9") is printed first, and then each label is printed, leaving a margin of 2 mm (0.08") before and after the text. -
