Printing Modes
Two print modes are available in addition to
Normal: fixed length and flag mode. Pressing

NORMAL
Printing Fixed Length Labels
Normally, the length of the label is determined by
the length of the text entered. However, you may
wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a
fixed length regardless of the length of the text.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.10"
(2 mm) increments between 1.50" (40 mm) and
20.00" (500 mm). The default fixed length is 2.00"
(50 mm). Any change you make to the fixed length
setting remains in effect until you change it.
