Printing a Label Larger than the Tape Cartridge Width
You can use the procedure in this section to print a label that is larger
than the wide of the tape cartridge loaded in the printer.
Printing a label on multiple pieces of tape will result in margins above and
below the print area. You can deal with these margins using either of the
two methods below.
Print on transparent tape and overlap the pieces when you assemble
the fi nal label. This is the recommended method.
Trim away the margins before assembling the parts into a fi nal label.
Example: To print the label below using a 12mm tape cartridge
Three 12mm (
1
/
2
") labels
1. On the Label Properties screen, specify 12mm (
1
/
2
") for the label width and
3 for the number of pieces. See "Creating a New Label Layout" (page
11).
Important!
The tape widths for which you can specify the number of pieces
depends on the printer model you are using.
Note that the maximum number of pieces value is one that does not
cause the print area (width) setting to exceed 600mm (23-
5
/
8
").
2. Layout the content of the label.
Print area (length)
Tape 1
Tape 2
Tape 3
Print area
(width)
3. Print the label.
The label is printed in three pieces. Fit them together as you affi x
them to a surface to assemble the fi nal label.
