I want my printer to use less tape for each label.
Due to the construction of the tape mechanism, one inch (25 mm) margin 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:
1. Check the margin settings before printing
2. When printing multiple labels
To reduce the margin size of the second and subsequent labels, print multiple labels consecutively using either the same or different layout for the labels.
To feed the tape correctly, the printer will automatically set a wider left margin for the first label only. The second and subsequent labels will have narrow margins.
When [Chain Print] is set, feed the tape before using the cutter otherwise a part of the text may be cut off.
Be sure to feed the tape before cutting the tape. Press the [Shift] key ( ) and [Feed/Print] key ( ) to feed the tape.
