SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS
The character size of the entire text can be adjusted using both the
size
and
width
functions. Since the character size that can be used depends on the width of the tape,
the following table shows the character sizes that can be used with each tape width.
The default size setting is
AUTO
and the default width setting is
OFF
. The currently
selected size setting is always shown by the indicators at the top of the display. When
the
ON
width setting is selected, the
Wide
indicator at the top-left corner of the dis-
play lights up.
With the
AUTO
size setting, the machine compares your text with the width of the
installed tape and automatically adjusts the characters to the largest size possible.
However, five other point sizes are also available and each can be printed in wide
characters.
