Fundamentals of Label Layout
Before we actually begin our discussion about how to layout a tape, we should first define a few terms. Note the following. Blocks A block 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 require 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. 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. Side Spaces The side spaces are blank areas that the Label Printer automatically 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.
To show the layout display
1. After laying out the label you plan to print, press LAYOUT.
Feed setting (E-18) Screen number (when the entire layout does not fit on a single screen)

1 L 19. 2 cm

3. Use u and i to highlight SUPERSCRIPT or SUBSCRIPT. What you should do next depends on the range you want to use. The range setting procedures are the same as those for font range settings. ALL: See To change the font for all the text. BLOCK: See To change the font for blocks of text. LINE: See To change the font for lines of text. CHARACTER: See To change the font for specific characters. The following shows examples of what superscripting and subscripting looks like on the display.
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. 3. Press ESC to quit the layout display. You can view the actual appearance of the label using the image display, which is described on page E-19.

BLOCK SPACE NONE

WIDE RIGHT

NARROW CENTER

NORMAL
FEED You can also one of two different feed settings that provides either long or short side spaces (Fundamentals of Label Layout). You can also specify manual feed. LONG This setting causes the tape to feed 16.5mm at the beginning and end of each printing. SHORT This setting causes the tape to feed 3mm at the beginning and end of each printing.

Part 8 Printing

This part of the manual includes all the information you need to print tapes. Note The following information covers basic printing procedures only. Other printing related information can be found in the sections of this manual describing presets (page E-20), stamp printing (page E-25), frames, and memory operations (page E-26).
An easy way to remove the backing from a tape 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.

Part 9 Frames

The frame feature makes it easy to add attractive ornamental frames to your text. You get a choice of two types of frames. Frame around the printing area
To adjust the print density
1. Turn power on. 2. Press SET UP to display the SET UP menu. 3. Use u and i to highlight DENSITY, and then press SET.

Printing Precautions
Never turn power off while printing is being performed. Make sure that the tape outlet is not blocked before you start printing. Never operate the tape cutter while printer is being performed (indicated by the message NOW PRINTING on the display). During printing at very high density, printing of very long text, or repeat printing 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.

10-8-1 MEMORY Mode

10-8 MEMORY Mode
This calculator has two separate memory areas: a current area and a storage area. The current area is a work area where you can perform input data, perform calculations and run programs. Data in the current area is relatively safe, but it can be deleted when batteries go dead and when you perform a full reset. The storage area uses flash memory, so data is safe even when power is interrupted. Normally, you would use the storage area for data you need to store securely for long periods and load into the current area only when you need it. Use the MEMORY Mode to transfer data between the current area and storage area, and to perform other memory management operations. From the Main Menu, select the MEMORY icon to enter the MEMORY Mode and display its initial screen.
