Whenever the BATTmessage appears, press SET to clear it from the display.  
You should still be able to perform some Label Printer operations, but some  
power intensive operations (like printing) may become impossible if battery power  
is too low. In any case, you should replace batteries as soon as possible or  
switch to the AC adaptor as soon as possible after the BATTmessage ap-  
pears.  
1. Turn power off.  
If you are using the optional AC adaptor for power, you should also unplug it  
from the Label Printer.  
2. Turn over the label printer and remove the  
cover as shown in the illustration.  
Important!  
All data stored in memory is deleted whenever batteries go dead and when  
you replace batteries. Be sure to keep written backup copies of all important  
data (text and documents).  
Batteries can burst or leak and damage your unit if you do not use them  
correctly. Note the following important points.  
Be sure that the plus (+) and minus () sides of each battery are facing cor-  
rectly.  
3. Load batteries into the battery compartment.  
Be sure to use alkaline batteries.  
Make sure the positive (+) and negative ()  
ends of the batteries are facing correctly when  
you load them.

Text Effects  
There are three text effects that you can assign:shading, underlining, and boxed  
text. The following shows examples of each.  
Shading:  
Part 6 Printing  
Underlining:  
Boxed Text:  
This part of the manual includes all the information you need to print tapes. It  
also tells you how to print special stamp tapes that you can attach to an optional  
stamp holder to create your own original stamps.  
Printing Precautions  
Never turn power off while printing is being performed.  
Text effect changes are applied to printed text only. The appearance of the  
displayed text does not change, but the text effect indicators will show you  
when a text effect is being used.  
Make sure that the tape outlet is not blocked before you start printing.  
Never operate the tape cutter while printer is being performed (indicated by  
the message PRNTon the display).  
During printing at very high density, printing of very long text, or repeat print-  
ing of the same text a number of times, the Label Printer may stop printing for  
about five seconds. This is not a malfunction, and normal printing should  
resume shortly (indicated by the message P R N Ton the display).  
Important!  
Any text effect specification you make is applied to all the characters on the  
display. You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.  
To specify a text effect  
Example: To shade the text ABXYZ.  
Important!  
Never touch the tape cutter while a tape cut operation is being performed.  
Doing so can result in cuts and other personal injury.

PRN?  
2. After the print operation is complete, press down on the tape cutter button to  
cut the tape.  
3. Use scissors to trim the tape to the size you want, if necessary.  
After you print a tape, you can peel off its paper  
backing and stick the tape onto the object you  
want. Note that the tape will not stick on coarse,  
wet, oily, or soiled surfaces. Also, you should not  
try to use the tape where it is exposed to direct  
sunlight or rain. Do not stick the tape onto hu-  
man skin.  
A mark appears next to the STAMP indicator on the display when mirror print-  
ing is turned on.  
If the text you input in step 1 is too long to fit within the maximum length you  
specified, an error message (page 21) appears when you press SET.  
Backing  
3. Press SET to print the stamp tape or ESC to abort the print operation and  
return to the text input display in step 1.  
After the printing is complete, the Label Printer returns to the input display in  
step 1.  
Tape  
An easy way to remove the backing from a tape  
and expose the adhesive surface is to bend the  
tape near one of its ends. This should cause the  
tape and its backing to separate, allowing you to  
pull them apart.  
4. Cut off the tape and affix it to the optional stamp holder.  
See the instructions that come with the optional stamp holder for information  
about how to attach the stamp tape.  
Mirror Image Printing  
When you specify mirror image for text, it is printed in reverse image. Use mir-  
ror image when you plan to print on transparent tape, with the printing on the  
inside. When viewed through the transparent tape, the text will appear normal.  
You can also use mirror image printing when using iron-on transfer tape to print  
iron-on transfers.  
Stamp Printing  
The stamp printing feature lets you print on special stamp tape. You can then  
attach the finished stamp tape to an optionally available stamp holder to create  
your own original pre-inked stamps. The following is the type of stamp holder  
currently available for use with stamp tapes.

An error message (ERR!) appears on the display and the Label Printer refuses  
to print whenever you try to print text that is longer than the maximum length  
you specify.

register it.  
A mark appears next to the MIRROR indicator on the display when mirror  
printing is turned on.  
Print Density  
The print density setting controls how darkly figures are printed on your tapes.  
To adjust the print density  
1. Press FUNCTION and then 8 (DENSITY).  
After you turn printing on, input text and perform the print operation as you  
normally do (page 14) to produce mirror image tapes.

Other Printing Features and Operations  
The following are other operations and settings that you may need to use when  
printing.  
2. Use H and J to move the underlining to the density setting that you want.  
The lightest setting is 1, while the darkest setting is 5.The standard setting is 3.  
Only four of the five settings that are available can appear on the display. The  
display scrolls left and right when necessary to show all of the available settings.  
Auto Feed  
3. When the density setting is the way you want it, press SET to register it.  
You can turn the Label Printers auto feed feature on and off. When auto feed is  
on, the Label Printer automatically feeds the tape about 17.1mm at the begin-  
ning and end of each print operation. This creates identical margins on both  
sides of your text.  
Important!  
Part 7 Memory  
After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press  
FUNCTION and then PRINT (FEED) to feed the tape before cutting it. If you  
dont you will cut off part of the printed text.  
This part of the manual tells you how to store text data in memory for instant  
recall when you need it.You can store two blocks of text in memory, each con-  
taining up of 63 characters, for a total of 126 characters.  
To turn auto feed on and off  
1. Press FUNCTION and then 7 (M-FEED).  
Important!  
All data stored in memory is deleted whenever batteries go dead and when  
you replace batteries. Be sure to keep written backup copies of all important  
data (text and documents).
