Printing Fixed Length Labels
Normally, the length of the label is determined by
the length of the text entered. However, you may
wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a
fixed length regardless of the length of the text.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.5 mm
(0.2”) increments between 10 mm (0.4”) and
999.9 mm (40.0”). The preset fixed length is 40 mm
(1.5”). Any change you make to the fixed length
setting remains in effect until you change it.
To set the label length
1. Press .
2. Use the arrow keys to increase or decrease the
label length.
3. Press .
If multiple copies of a fixed-length label are
printed, cut marks are printed between each label.
See Figure 9.

The barcode prints horizontally along the label with
the text in small print underneath the barcode. You
can optionally add text before and after the

cut-line is printed between each label.
To print multiple copies
