SIZE & WIDTH FUNCTIONS
The character size 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 indicator above the display.
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 possible size. How-
ever, six other point sizes are also available and each can be printed in wide characters.
