EDITING A LABEL
• The actual printed font size depends on the tape width, number of characters and number of input lines. Once characters reach a minimum size, the selected font will default to a custom font which is based on the Helsinki style. This allows labels to print using the smallest text possible on narrow or multi-line labels.
• The 6 point font only prints in Helsinki, no other font type.
• When [Size] is set to [Auto] and all the text is entered in uppercase, the text is automatically adjusted to print in the largest font size possible for each tape width. This font size is larger than the largest font size available in the font settings for each tape width.

Creating a Bar Code Label
NOTE
• The P-touch labeler is not designed exclusively for creating bar code labels. Always check that bar code labels can be read by the bar code reader.
• For best results, print bar code labels in black ink on white tape.
Some bar code readers may not be able to read bar code labels created using colored tape or ink.
• Use the [Large] setting for [Width] whenever possible. Some bar code readers may not be able to read bar code labels created using the
[Small] setting.
• Continuously printing a large number of labels with bar codes can overheat the print head, which may affect printing quality.
