Title:

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

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] or [Half Cut] and the number of copies.

*The left margin is produced before the first label, but not for the consecutive copies.
(If [Auto cut] is selected, the first part of the left margin is trimmed.)

 

  1. Click  print  on the command bar.

  2. Select [Auto Cut] or [Half Cut], and [Chain Printing] as below.
