3 Configure the setting of each item.
•
Printer (T) shows the model name of the printer to be used for
printing. If a printer is connected to your computer over a network,
its name (including the path name) will appear in Print Destination
(P).
•
If the message No device connected appears for Print
Destination (P), you need to install the printer driver.
•
If text or figures on actual print results are smudged or too dense,
adjust the print density.
4 Click OK.
5 Configure number of copies, options, and other settings.
•
Under Cut Style (T), specify the tape cut method you want to use.
Select Half Cut/Full Cut, Full Cut Only, or No Cut.
•
With Half Cut/Full Cut the printer cuts only the tape part, without
cutting the backing paper when multiple labels are printed.
With this setting, margins between labels are narrower, which
saves tape.
•
Selecting the Continual Print (N) check box disables tape cutting
when the tape is fed and at the end of a print operation, which
helps to save tape. Note that this check box is cleared (not
selected) under initial default settings.
With some printer models, you will not be able to select this check
box.
•
Select No Cut when printing on magnetic tape, reflective tape, iron
on tape, or heat-shrinkable tubing.
•
Select Full Cut Only or No Cut when printing on self-adhesive
tape, fabric transfer tape, or instant lettering tape.
•
Changing the printer model may cause the Cut Style (T) setting to
be changed automatically.
•
You can select from among the following print modes: Fast
Print, Normal Print, Magnetic Tape. Normally, you should use
the Normal Print mode. You can increase printing speed by
selecting Fast Print, but this will also reduce printing resolution.
Select Magnetic Tape when printing on magnetic tape. Note that
selecting Magnetic Tape automatically disables auto cutting. After
printing on magnetic tape, feed the tape and then use scissors
or some other implement to cut it. Some printer models may not
support print mode selection.
•
To perform mirror image printing, select the Print Reversed (M)
check box.
6 Connect the printer to your computer.
•
Put the printer into the data communication mode.
7 Click OK.
•
This starts printing.
•
To stop printing, click “Printing cancelled” on the Printer menu of
the print spooler screen.
•
To print a large label, you can print parts to multiple pieces of tape
and then assemble them into the final label. For more information,
see "Printing a Label Larger than the Tape Cartridge Width"
(page 64).
Important!
•
Tape cutting is not performed when the tape length is one of those
shown in the table below. In this case, you can use scissors or some
other implement to cut the tape after printing is complete.
