Title:

How can I prevent the left margin (approximately one inch of space) that is produced before printing a label? (P-touch Editor 5.0)

Description:

Due to the design and construction of the tape mechanism, it is essential to feed a certain amount of tape through the machine before the first label. However, by printing labels consecutively, subsequent labels can be printed without this excess tape.

 

The following methods are useful for reducing tape use:

 

  1. Click  paper  on the command bar.

  2. Select [Tape size] - [Margins] to adjust the margin.

* This is an effective way to save tape although the left margin still remains .

 

  1. Click  print  on the command bar.

  2. Select [Auto Cut] and the number of copies.  Click [Print].

    *No cutting procedure is done at this stage, but the first part of the left margin is removed.

  3. Create the next label and set the print options in the same way as above.

  4. Cut the label by pushing the Feed/Cut button on the front panel of the machine after the last label has printed.

*The left margin is produced before the first label, but not for the consecutive labels
