Due to the construction of the tape mechanism, there is no way to print without the 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:
 

• Minimizing the tape margin.
• Using the "Print Option" to print multiple copies of the label.
  • Setting the tape margin to "Auto Cut".
  • Setting the tape margin to "Cut at end".
