How do I print multiple lines and how many lines can I print?

To print multiple lines,

  1. Type text for the first line.
  2. Press the Enter key to make a new line.
  3. Type text for the second line.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all lines have been entered.
  5. Press the Print key.

 

The maximum number of text lines that can be printed depends on the width of tape installed.
Refer to the following table:

Tape Width Maximum number of lines that can be printed
9/64" (3.5 mm) 1

3/8" (9 mm) 2
1/2" (12 mm) 3
 3/4" (18 mm) 5
  1" (24 mm) 7

 

If you exceed the maximum number of lines, an error message will appear on the LCD display.
Press any key to clear the error message and follow the instructions below.
