How do I create a label with a 3.5mm width tape

To create labels with a 3.5 mm width 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 3.5 mm tape cassette is detected as a 6 mm tape cassette.

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

  1. Insert a 3.5mm width tape into your P-touch.

  2. Start up P-touch Editor.

  3. Make sure that the tape width is set to 6mm.
    If not, select 6mm from the pull-down menu.
