How do I eliminate the margin from the start or end of my label when printing?

Due to the construction of the tape mechanism, the one inch (25mm) 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 methods are useful for reducing tape use:


  • Method 1 - Selecting "Small Margin" in the Cut Option setting:

    1. Press the [Label] key Image.

    2. Press the arrow key Key or Key to select "Cut Option".

    3. Press the arrow key Key or  Key to select "Small Margin".

    This eliminates the margin at the end of the tape after printing as shown below:

    3. Press the arrow key Key or Key to select "Small Margin".
    4. Press [OK] key ok_key or [Enter] key enter_key.

    5. While holding down the [Shift] key shift_key, press the [Print] keyprint_key to display the Copies screen.
