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
MEDIUM
. The currently
selected size setting is always shown by the indicators above the display. In addition, when a
width setting other than
MEDIUM
is selected, the
Width
indicator comes on.
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 any of the three width settings.
