How to use a 9/64" (3.5 mm) wide tape

To create labels with a 9/64" (3.5 mm) wide tape, you need to set the top and bottom margins of the tape. Otherwise the printed text may extend beyond the width of the tape because a 9/64" (3.5 mm) wide tape cassette is detected as a 1/4" (6 mm) wide tape cassette.

Follow the procedures below to set the tape margins in order to print the text correctly.

 

  1. Insert a 9/64" (3.5 mm) wide tape into your P-touch.

  2. Start P-touch Editor.

  3. Make sure that the tape width is set to 1/4" (6 mm).
    If not, select 1/4" (6 mm) from the pull-down menu.

  4. Click on the "File" on the menu bar and then select the "Printer/Page Setup…" to display the Printer Setup dialog box.
