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
 

1. Check the margin settings before printing

1. Press the [Function] key (  ).
2. Press the [Cursor] key ( ) until [Margin] is displayed.
3. Press the [OK] key (  ).
4. Make sure that [Narrow] is selected. If not, press the [Cursor] key (  ) until [Narrow] is displayed.
5. Press the [OK] key (  ).
   Then you can change the margin to narrow before and after text.
   

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.
