Auto Format function

(d + 6/ 7 [v/w on
the PT-3600])
The Auto Format function keys (6 and 7)
make creating labels and stamps quick and
easy. After simply selecting one of the various
pre-formatted templates and typing text into
each of its fields, the overall style of the label
can easily be changed by selecting one of the
six available style formats, and then the label is
ready to be printed.
The two sets of templates available allow you to
create labels and stamps for a variety of needs—
from addressing envelopes to identifying floppy
disks or audio and video cassettes. The 15 tem-
plates available by pressing 6 (v on the PT-
3600) are designed specifically for the pre-sized
AV labels, which allow you to quickly and eas-
ily create multiple copies of address and filing
labels. By pressing 7 (w on the PT-3600), a
wider variety of templates (39 with the PT-9600,
31 with the PT-3600) are available for use with
TZ tape. The width and length of each label or
stamp printed from a template is preset. For
samples of the available templates, refer to
pages 105 through 109.
After the text is entered, a different style for the
text can easily be selected. For samples of the
available style formats, refer to pages 110.
To select a pre-formatted template:
1 Hold down d and press 6 or 7. (For
the PT-3600, press v or w .)
NOTE
☞
The template that was last used appears first.
Selecting this template displays the text that was
entered in it at that time.
☞
The label sizes are displayed in the currently
selected unit of measurement (inches or centi-
meters). The unit of measurement can be
changed with the Setup functions. (Refer to
page 80.)
☞
An Auto Format template that has been stored
in the memory can be recalled and used again.
For details on recalling stored Auto Format tem-
plates, refer to page 73.
