Whenever you turn power off, any input that is on the dis-
play is automatically stored in memory. Then the next time
you turn on power, the message “[SET] TO RECALL” ap-
pears on the display. Pressing SET when this message is
on the display recalls the text that was on the screen when
you last turned off power.
• Do not expose a battery to direct heat, do not short circuit
it, and do not try to take it apart.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swal-
lowed, consult with a physician immediately.
To connect the AC adaptor

ing it for the first time, after you have not used it for a long
time, or if nothing happens when you turn power on.
Important! Resetting label printer memory clears its
memory of all input data.
After you finish using the label printer, turn it off and discon-
nect the AC adaptor.

sette. Once tape is out of the cassette, there is no way to
wind it back in. Trying to do so can cause operational prob-
lems with the label printer.

start again from step 1 above.
Removing the Tape Cartridge
• Grasp the tape cartridge with your fingers as shown in
the illustration, and lift it straight up out of the label printer.
7. Use a pencil or some other thin object to take up slack in
the ink ribbon as shown in the illustration. Note that the
tape does not move at this time.
• If there is a cartridge already in the label printer, remove it
by grasping the cartridge on both sides with your thumb
and forefinger, and lift straight up.
3. Remove the stopper from a new tape cartridge and check
to see that the tape is ready to use.
• To make it easier to remove a narrow (6mm, 9mm) tape
cartridge, insert a pencil or some other thin, pointed ob-
ject under the right side of the tape and lift up, as shown
in the illustration.
• If the ink ribbon is slack when you load it into the label
printer, it can break or cause some other problem.
• Be sure to turn the ink ribbon take up spool only in the
direction indicated by the arrow (a).
• Turn the spool until the other spool (b) starts turning in
the direction noted by the arrow. This indicates there is no
slack in the ribbon.

Part 6 Character Sizes
• The range (From -To settings) for a character size specifi-
cation cannot extend from one block to another.
Your label printer provides you with three different ways to
change character sizes: direct specification of character size,
specification of character size for entire lines of text using
preset formats, and specification of superscript and sub-
script.
To change character size using direct
specification

Direct Specification of Character Sizes
You can specify various numeric factors to change the ver-
tical (1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and horizontal (1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8) size of characters from the normal (1×1) 48 dots × 48
dots (3mm × 3mm). A character size change is indicated on
the display by a character size indicator. The following table
shows the character size indicators that appear for each
character size.
Specifying Character Sizes for Lines of
Text Using Preset Formats
With this method, you input the text you want and then use
preset formats to specify the character size for each line of
text. Note that character size marks do not appear inside of
text when you specify character sizes using this method. In-
stead, the character size display mark shows the size of the
characters where the cursor is currently located.

About Auto Sizing
Important! You can use preset formats to specify charac-
ter sizes for lines of text only when there is no character
size specification already made inside of the text. If you press
the SIZE key while the cursor is located inside of a block
that already contains a character size indicator, the FOR-
MAT item will be dimmed on the SIZE menu, which means
it cannot be selected.
If you do not specify a character size, the label printer auto-
matically selects the optimum size in accordance with the
width of the tape you are using. If you are using frames
(page E-19), characters are automatically balanced with the
type of frame being used.

To cancel superscripting and subscripting
1. While there is superscripted or subscripted text on the
display, press SIZE.
Superscript and Subscript
These menu options let you quickly and easily superscript
or subscript text. The label printer automatically adjusts the
size of the superscripted or subscripted text to balance it
with the text to which it is appended.
2. Use u and i to highlight “SUPER/SUB” and then press
SET.
3. Use u and i to highlight “CANCEL” and then press
SET.
4. Select the range of characters for which you want to can-
cel superscripting or subscripting. Use the same proce-
dures as those described following step 3 under “To su-
perscript or subscript characters”.
Important! Note that the Dingbats, the special numbers
and the Greek and Russian characters of the SYMBOL menu
cannot be superscripted or subscripted.
To superscript or subscript characters
1. While there is text on the display, press SIZE.
Label Length
The label length is the print area, plus the side spaces.
Settings you make for side spaces, block spacing, and mir-
ror printing affect the entire label length.

Ablock is text that is enclosed between two block marks ( ).
Note that the first (far left) block does not require a block mark
at the beginning, and the last (far right) block does not re-
quire a block mark at the end. If there are no block marks, all
of the text is treated as a single block. You can individually
specify the length of each block, as well as the pitch and the
number of lines of inside each block.

ON
This setting provides side spaces of only 1mm of the
printed text. If you perform two consecutive print op-
erations (without manually feeding between prints), the
last character of the first print operation is followed by
the first character of the second print operation, with
no space provided between them. It is a good way to
save tape when you print a series of tapes.
• Mirror printing (mirror, normal)
• Proportional character spacing (on, off)
• Smoothing (on, off)
OFF
• Block space (none, narrow, wide)
• Feed (long, short, manual)
• Tape length (auto, fixed)
Important! After you finish printing when using manual feed,
be sure to always press FUNC and then FEED to feed the
tape before cutting it. If you don’t you will cut off part of the
printed text.
• Block alignment (left, center, right, uniform spacing)
