4. P-touch Template 2.0 Limitations
4.1.3 Text Layout settings
Character styles specified in P-touch Editor all become the same style within an object.
If the “Long text” is selected under “Text Layout” in P-touch Editor, the text is always aligned at top left.
If the “Long Text” setting is selected under “Text Layout” in P-touch Editor and continuous length tape is
used, the print length is increased to fit the text.
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.
“Fixed Frame Size (Wrap)” is a setting that was added for inserting long text. Since it is 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 or a fixed length is specified in P-touch Editor, or that
“Automatic Length” be selected when an automatic media length is specified.
Shrink to Fit
The text object size is fixed, and the text size is changed depending on the text
length.
Clip Text

is not printed.
Long Text
The text object width is fixed, and the text size is fixed. If the text is too long, the text
object height is increased.
Automatic
Length
