Specifying the line spacing setting in P-touch Editor
・Character styles specified in P-touch Editor are all made the same style within an object.
・If the “Long Text” setting is selected under “Text Layout” in P-touch Editor, the vertical

・If the “Fixed Frame Size (Wrap)” setting is selected under “Text Layout” in P-touch Editor,
the object size does not change, and the text size is reduced.

possible that the text size may become extremely small if the wrapping feature is no longer
applied, we recommend that “Fixed Frame Size” be selected when die-cut labels are
specified in P-touch Editor or a fixed length is specified, or that “Automatic Length” be
selected when an automatic media length is specified.)
1. Shrink to Fit: The size of the text object is fixed, and the text size is changed depending on

2. Clip Text: The size of the text object and the text size are fixed. If the text is too long, it is
not printed.
3. Long Text: The width of the text object and the text size are fixed. If the text is too long, a
line feed is automatically added, and the height of the text object is increased.
4. Automatic Length: The height of the text object and the text size are fixed. If the text is too
