The character size can be adjusted using both the 

Size

 and 

Width

 functions. Since the charac-

ter size that can be used depends on the width of the tape, the following table shows the char-
acter 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. However, seven other
point sizes are also available, and each can be printed with either of the two width settings.

With the 

AUTO 

setting selected and 1/2" (12-mm) or 3/4" (18-mm) wide tape installed,

text consisting of just one line of only uppercase letters (and no accented characters)
will be printed with a character size slightly larger than a similar sentence also contain-
ing lowercase letters (i.e., 29 points for 1/2" (12-mm) wide tape and 52 points for 3/4"
(18-mm) wide tape).
