Stamp Stencil function
(d + S)
The Stamp Stencil function allows you to
quickly and easily create your own stamp sten-
cil films for chemical etching. After inserting a
stamp film cassette, select this function to adjust
the text to a perfect thickness for the pre-inked
stamp film holders. Since the stamp holder is
reusable, just make a new stamp stencil film and
replace the one in the holder.
To make a stamp:
1 Type in the text, and then insert a medium
(3/4" (18-mm)-wide) or large (1" (24 mm)-
wide) stamp film cassette.
2 Hold down d and press S.

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 99 through 103.
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 104.
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 refer
to page 74.)
☞
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 67.
