Tape feed – Brother 580C User Manual

Page 98

Text mode
Original mode

This machine can be set to leave equal margins of between 1/6” (4 mm) and
1” (24 mm) on the left and right sides of your label. The tape feed settings are:

FULL (1” (24 mm))

NONE (1/6” (4 mm))

NARROW (1/3” (8 mm))

MEDIUM (1/2” (12 mm))

Since reducing the tape feed may decrease bar code readability, full tape
feed is recommended when messages include bar code. If instant (rub-
on) lettering tape is installed, this setting will be ignored and the message
will be printed with full margins.

The tape feed setting can only be applied to the entire label. It cannot be
applied to just part of the text.

TO SELECT A MARGIN WIDTH:

(1) Press the FORMAT key.

(2) Press the

4 and 3 keys until the tape feed setting (FEED) is highlighted.

(3) Press the

5 and 6 keys until the margin width you wish to use is highlighted.

The default setting (FULL) can be selected by pressing the SPACE key.

(4) Press the RETURN key.
