Tape Length function
(T. LENGTH)
Although the length of the printed label auto-
matically adjusts to fit the length of the entered
text, there may be times when you will want to
make a label with a specific length. The Tape
Length function allows you to set the label
length between 0.25" and 38.84" (0.6 cm and
99.5 cm).
The current Tape Length setting is shown in the
lower-left corner of the display.
