Type option What to do
Color Select a color for the text. The default is the first color value
stored in the memory cell of the installed ribbon, or black if no
ribbon is installed.
• If either a paneled ribbon or a continuous color monochrome
ribbon is installed, you can choose from the entire color
palette. The colors available on that ribbon are listed first, and
are identified by asterisks around the color name, as shown on
the Type Options screen example above. When you print, you
will be prompted when you need to install a different color
ribbon. You can cycle through the color list.
• If a continous color monochrome ribbon is installed, the color
of the installed ribbon is displayed but you cannot change the
color setting.
• If no ribbon is installed, when you turned on the system you
were asked to choose whether you wanted to create labels
based on a paneled or monochrome ribbon type. If you chose
Paneled, you also chose the paneled ribbon colors you wanted
to use; those colors are available for selection.
For more information, see “How installed ribbons affect label
composition” on page 2-6.
Expand/Condense Choose a number. Text can be expanded from 110% to 200% in
10% increments; the larger the number, the more the text is
expanded. Text can be condensed from 90% to 50% in 5%
increments; the smaller the number, the more the text is
condensed. You cannot change this value if the Condense to fit
option is on and a length for the label has been entered. Also
note that expanding the text may cause the label length to
exceed the maximum supported, and a message will display.
Italics Choose On or Off (default).
Underline Choose On or Off (default).
Vertical print Choose On or Off (default). If there are multiple lines of text,
subsequent lines print to the left of the first line; in other words,
they are printed from right to left when you hold the tape
vertically. If you want the lines to print from left to right, enter the
lines in reverse order starting with the line you want to appear on
the left when you hold the tape vertically.
Character position Choose Normal (default), Subscript or Superscript.
