However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text. You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.250" (6 mm) increments between 0.500" (20 mm) and 40.000" (999.9 mm). The preset fixed length is 1.5" (25 mm). Any change you make to the fixed length setting remains in effect until you change it. The amount of text that will print on the label determines the minimum length of a label, regardless of the fixed length you set manually. For example, setting a fixed length of 0.50" for a label with 20 characters would have no effect on the label length. To set the label length 1. Press . FIXED 2. Press to increase the length. 3.

Printing Fixed Length Labels
Normally, the length of the label is determined by
the length of the text entered. However, you may
wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a
fixed length regardless of the length of the text.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.250”
(6 mm) increments between 0.500” (20 mm) and
40.000” (999.9 mm). The preset fixed length is 1.5”
(25 mm). Any change you make to the fixed length
setting remains in effect until you change it.
The amount of text that will print on the label
determines the minimum length of a label,
regardless of the fixed length you set manually. For
example, setting a fixed length of 0.50” for a label
with 20 characters would have no effect on the
label length.
