Part 1 Getting Acquainted  
This part of the manual provides you with important information you need to  
know in order to use the Label Printer to its full potential. Be sure to read it  
carefully before using the Label Printer for the first time.  
Important Precautions  
Keep your Label Printer out of areas subject to temperature extremes, moisture  
and direct sunlight.The recommended temperature range is 10° to 35°C (50°  
to 95°F).  
Don’t let coffee, juice or other liquids splash onto the Label Printer.  
Never let paper clips, pins or other foreign objects get into the tape outlet slot  
or printer of the Label Printer.  
Do not pile heavy objects on top of the Label Printer.  
Never try to take the Label Printer apart or attempt your own maintenance.  
Do not drop your Label Printer and avoid strong impact.  
Do not pull on the tape or try to force it back into the Label Printer.  
Do not use benzine, thinner, or other volatile chemicals to clean the exterior  
of the Label Printer. Use a soft, dry cloth or a cloth dampened in a weak  
solution of a mild, neutral detergent and water. Wring the cloth out until all  
excess moisture is removed.  
A dirty printer head can cause printing to become smudged. When this  
happens, clean off the printer head by wiping it with a cotton swab moistened  
with alcohol (page E-21).  
Use of the Label Printer next to a television or radio may interfere with reception.

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 maximum character size you can print depends on the size of the tape  
you have loaded in the Label Printer and the number of lines of text you are  
printing. If the character size you specify is greater than the maximum  
characters size limit, the Label Printer automatically adjust your text vertically  
to fit as shown in the tables below. The indicator “E” is shown on the right of  
the size to indicate when the character size has been adjusted.

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 6 Printing  
This part of the manual includes all the information you need to print tapes. It  
also tells you how to print special stamp tapes that you can attach to an optional  
stamp holder to create your own original stamps.  
Mirror Image Printing  
When you specify mirror image for text, it is printed in reverse image. Use mirror  
image when you plan to print on transparent tape, with the printing on the inside.  
When viewed through the transparent tape, the text will appear normal. You  
can also use mirror image printing when using iron-on transfer tape to print iron-  
on transfers.  
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 (indicated by the message “NOW PRINTING” on the display).

A mark appears next to the MIRROR indicator on the display when mirror  
printing is turned on.  
After you turn printing on, input text and perform the print operation as you  
normally do to produce mirror image tapes.  
1. Press the PRINT key to print a tape of the text you have input and laid out.  
To stop a print operation that is in progress, press ESC.  
2. After the print operation is complete, press down on the tape cutter button to  
cut the tape.  
3. Use scissors to trim the tape to the size you want, if necessary.  
After you print a tape, you can peel off its paper  
backing and stick the tape onto the object you  
want. Note that the tape will not stick on coarse,  
wet, oily, or soiled surfaces. Also, you should not  
try to use the tape where it is exposed to direct  
sunlight or rain. Do not stick the tape onto human  
skin.

Auto Feed  
Part 7 Bar Code  
You can turn the Label Printer’s auto feed feature on and off. When auto feed is  
on, the Label Printer automatically feeds the tape about 19mm at the beginning  
and end of each print operation.This creates identical margins on both sides of  
your text.  
Bar Code  
Important!  
With this item, you can print two different types of bar codes: EAN-13, EAN-8.  
After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press  
FUNC and then PRINT (FEED) to feed the tape before cutting it. If you don’t  
you will cut off part of the printed text.  
Important!  
The procedure you use to print a bar code depends on the type of bar code  
you select.  
To turn auto feed on and off  
1. Press FUNC and then 7 (M-FEED).  
Bar Code Tape  
Only the following types of tape should be used for printing bar codes.  
Black on white tape (WE)  
Blue on white tape (WEB)  
Black on yellow tape (YW)  
NO  
YES  
Important!  
2. Press H or J to change the setting shown on the display between YES  
(manual feed) and NO (auto feed).  
You cannot use 6mm or 9mm tapes to print bar codes.  
With bar codes, you can only input numeric characters (0 to 9). EAN-8 allows  
input of seven digits, while EAN-13 allows input of 12 digits.  
Always test bar codes produced using this label printer before actually using  
them. If bar codes cannot be read properly, try adjusting the print density or  
using a larger character size.  
3. When the feed setting is the way you want it, press SET to register it.  
To manually feed tape  
Press FUNC and then PRINT (FEED) to feed the tape 20mm.  
Do not use consecutive printing for bar codes.Consecutive printing can result  
in bar codes that cannot be read by a bar code reader.
