Due to the construction of the tape mechanism, there is no way to print without excess tape before the first label. 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:

• Setting tape margin to [Narrow] (minimum margin).
  
• Setting tape margin to [Chain Print].
  
• Using the Print Option [Copies] to print multiple copies of the same label.
