Creating Legends

Using the <Enter> Key When Composing a Legend
It is not necessary to press the <Enter> key after entering the last line of text in your legend.
Pressing the <Enter> key instructs the printer to reserve space for a new line of text (notice
the cursor advances to the next line). Even if characters are not entered on this new line, the
printer assumes the blank line is valid. As a result, markers are printed with the blank line,
which leads to un-centered legends.
When the <Enter> key is pressed at the end of a line, a non-visible end-of-line character is
inserted at the cursor. Characters entered after the cursor fall to the next line. This end-of-line
character can be deleted by positioning the cursor over the first character position on the
following line and pressing the <Shift> + <Delete> keys. This deletes the carriage return,
moves up the text located on the second line, and appends the text on the first line. Any
remaining lines of text also move up one line.
Note: The <Shift> + <Delete> command deletes the carriage return and appends text
to the previous line only if all characters on the current line fit on the previous line. If
the text cannot fit, the carriage return is not deleted and all text remains on the current line.

Default Font Size

The TLS2200
your label (one size per line). The font size is always displayed on the status bar located on the
first line of the LCD.
When a marker roll is loaded and the unit is turned on, the TLS2200 printer reads the marker
size information stored in the smart-cell on the marker roll core. This information is used to
automatically set an initial font size for your label. The method used to set this default is
intended to help approximate an optimal starting point for sizing your text. It is as follows:
Marker Width
< 12.7 mm (0.5 in.)
≥ 12.7 mm (0.5 in.)
Note: For continuous printed labels (banners), the default font size is the largest font
that prints on the selected marker width in horizontal orientation.
Once the font is set for a label line, the size remains the same for any new lines that follow
(example, font size set at 8 for line one, press <Enter> to add line two, font size remains at
size 8). The font size remains at the size you choose until you decide to change it.
