Character Size - Casio KL-820 User Manual

Character Size

There are two methods you can use to set the character size: AUTO and
MANUAL. With AUTO, character size is set automatically in accordance with
the tape size you are using and the number of lines you are printing. MANUAL
lets you set the character size manually.
The following table shows how AUTO decides which character size to use.

Character size changes are applied to printed text only. The size of the displayed
text does not change.
Important!
• The character size setting is applied to all of the characters within the block.
You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.
• The maximum character size you can print depends on the size of the tape
you have loaded in the Label Printer and the number of lines of text you are
printing. If the character size you specify is greater than the maximum
characters size limit, the Label Printer automatically adjust your text vertically
to fit as shown in the tables below. The message "TOO MANY LINES!" appears
on the display when the character size has been adjusted.
