FAQs & Troubleshooting

What does the error message "CHR SIZE AUTO?" on the display mean?

This message appears when the character size you selected cannot fit the tape inside the machine.

You have the following options:

 

  1. Press the "Return" key. The machine will automatically select the maximum character size that fits on the tape and print out the label.

  2. Press the "BS" key to clear the message and install a wider tape.

  3. Press the "BS" key to clear the message and then change to a smaller character size by following the steps below:
     
    1. Hold down the "Code" key.

    2. While holding the "Code" key, press the "Size" key. The display shows the current character size. (Do not release the "Code" key.)

      Each time you press the "Size" key, the character size changes.
      The following is the tape size and the maximum character size that can be fit on a single line label.
      For the 3/4, 1/2, 3/8" tapes, the maximum character sizes are SIZE 3, 4, 5

      For the 1/4 tape, the maximum character sizes are SIZE 1, 2
      It is best to set the SIZE = AUTO. In AUTO, the machine will automatically select the character size that fits the tape inside the machine.
       


    3. Release the "Code" at the desired character size.

If you still get the message, remove the cassette from the machine and reinstall it. Make sure the cassette tape is seated firmly in the compartment.
