    Sample

25 mm margin that is produced prior to every label cannot be eliminated due to the construction of the tape mechanism. 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:

  • Using the "Numbering function"
  • Setting the tape margin to "Chain Print" - please make sure that you feed the label after the last label is printed, otherwise a part of the text may be cut off.
