Warning
Power supply and voltage
Use only a power source whose output matches
the rating marked on the plate on the bottom of
the label printer. Also, avoid plugging too many
appliances into the same extension cord. The
wrong voltage or overloading of an AC outlet
creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
Serious malfunction
Continued use of the unit when smoke or a
strange odor is coming from it creates the dan-
ger of electrical shock. Immediately turn power
off and unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet. Request servicing from your original
dealer.
AC adaptor
Do not allow the power cord to become dam-
aged or broken, and never modify, over bend,
twist, or pull it. Never place heavy objects on
the power cord, and never expose it to direct
heat. A damaged power cord creates the dan-
ger of fire and electrical shock.
Use only the AC adaptor specified for this unit.
Use of another AC adaptor creates the danger
of fire and electrical shock.
Should the power cord become seriously dam-
aged (internal wiring is exposed or cut), request
servicing from your original dealer. Use of a
seriously damaged power cord creates the dan-
ger of fire and electrical shock.
Never touch the AC adaptor when your hands
are wet. Doing so creates the danger of electri-
cal shock.
Never try to take the unit apart
Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any
way. Doing so creates the danger of electrical
shock, burn injury, or other personal injury.
Packaging
Keep the plastic bag that the unit comes in out
of the reach of small children. Plastic bags cre-
ate the danger of suffocation for small children.
Avoid dropping
Should the unit ever become damaged by fall-
ing down, immediately turn off power and un-
plug the power cord from the wall socket. Re-
quest servicing from your original dealer. Use
of a damaged unit creates the danger of fire
and electrical shock.
Batteries
Never charge batteries, try to take batteries
apart, or allow batteries to become shorted.
Never expose batteries to direct heat or dispose
of them by incineration.
Caution
AC Adaptor
Do not leave the power cord near stoves or other
sources of intense heat. Doing so can melt
power cord insulation and create the danger of
fire and electrical shock.
When unplugging the power cord from the wall
socket, grasp the plug. Never pull on the cord
itself. Doing so can damage the power cord and
create the danger of fire and electrical shock.
Whenever leaving the unit unattended for long
periods, be sure to unplug it from the wall socket.
Whenever moving the unit, be sure to unplug it
from the wall socket. Leaving the unit plugged in
when it is being moved can result in damage to
the power cord and create the danger of fire and
electrical shock.
Whenever cleaning the unit, be sure to unplug
it from the wall socket.
When you are through using the unit, use its
power switch to turn it off and then unplug it
from the wall socket.
Avoid unstable areas
Never place the unit on a wobbly table or a high
shelf. Doing so can cause it to fall, resulting in
personal injury.
Water and other foreign matter
Never allow coffee, juice, or other drinks, or flower
vases to spill on the unit. Liquid spilled on the
unit creates the danger of fire and electrical
shock. Should liquid ever spill onto the unit, im-
mediately turn off power and unplug the power
cord from the wall socket. Request servicing from
your original dealer.
Location
Avoid leaving the unit in areas subjected to high
humidity and large amounts of dust. Such con-
ditions create the danger of fire and electrical
shock.
English
E-2
Avoid leaving the unit on a kitchen table, next to
a humidifier, or in any other area where it might
come into contact with oil vapors or steam. Such
conditions create the danger of fire and electri-
cal shock.
Never place heavy objects on the unit. Doing
so creates the danger of the unit falling, result-
ing in personal injury.
Lithium batteries
After removing the lithium “button” battery from
the label printer, put it in a safe place where
there is no danger of it getting into the hands of
small children and accidently swallowed.
Keep batteries out of the reach of small chil-
dren. If accidently swallowed, consult with a
physician immediately.
Batteries
Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak acid
that can cause damage to nearby items and
creates the possibility of personal injury.
Always make sure that the battery’s positive (+)
side is facing up (so you can see it) when you
load it into the unit.
Use only the battery type specified for this label
printer in this manual.
Memory
Always keep separate written copies of any in-
formation you store in the memory of this label
printer. Data stored in memory can be unexpect-
edly lost due to malfunction, repair, dead bat-
tery, etc.
Always be sure to connect the AC adaptor be-
fore removing the memory back-up battery from
the label printer. See the applicable section of
this manual before attempting to replace the
battery.

Part 1 Getting Acquainted
This part of the manual provides you with important infor-
mation you need to know in order to use the label printer to
its full potential. Be sure to read it carefully before using the
label printer for the first time.
Important Precautions
Keep your label printer out of areas subject to tempera-
ture extremes, moisture and direct sunlight. The recom-
mended temperature range is 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F).
Dont let coffee, juice or other liquids splash onto the label
printer.
Never let paper clips, pins or other foreign objects get into
the tape outlet slot or printer of the label printer.
Do not pile heavy objects on top of the label printer.
Never try to take the label printer apart or attempt your
own maintenance.
Do not drop your label printer and avoid strong impact.
Do not pull on the tape or try to force it back into the label
printer.
Never operate the tape cutter lever when a tape cartridge
is not loaded in the label printer. Doing so can damage
the cutter blade.
Never touch the printer head with your fingers.
Take care to avoid applying too much pressure to the tape
cutter lever. Doing so can damage it.
Do not use benzine, thinner, or other volatile chemicals to
clean the exterior of the label printer. Use a soft, dry cloth
or a cloth dampened in a weak solution of a mild, neutral
detergent and water. Wring the cloth out until all excess
moisture is removed.
A dirty printer head can cause printing to become
smudged. When this happens, clean off the printer head
by wiping it with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol
(page E-29).
Use of the label printer next to a television or radio may
interfere with reception.

Part 2 Getting Ready
This part of the manual tells you how to replace the memory
back-up battery, load the tape cartridge, and perform other
basic setups for the label printer.
Important! Be sure to read this section before attempting
to use the label printer.
Power Supply
The label printer is powered by the AC adaptor (AD-A12140).
In addition, memory contents are protected by a CR2032
lithium battery that must be replaced periodically.
AC Adaptor
Note the following important precautions about the AC adap-
tor.
Liquid crystal display (LCD)
E-6
Use only an adaptor, and make sure the adaptor has the
same voltage rating as the household current in your area.
Using a wrong adaptor can damage your label printer.
Be sure to turn the label printer off before you connect the
adaptor. Do not turn power on until the adaptor is con-
nected to the label printer and plugged into an AC outlet.
To connect the AC adaptor
Connect the adaptor to the label printer as illustrated below.
Plug the other end into a standard household AC outlet.
After you finish using the label printer, turn it off and discon-
nect the AC adaptor.
Be sure to grasp the plug of the AC adaptor cord when
disconnecting it. Never pull on the cord.

Important! The back-up battery can burst or leak and dam-
age your unit if you do not use it correctly. Note the following
important points.
Be sure that the plus (+) side of the battery is facing up
(so you can see it) when you install it in the label printer.
Never leave a dead battery in the label printer.
Remove the battery if you do not plan to use the label
printer for a long time.
Replace the battery as soon as the low battery message
appears.
Replace battery at least once a year, even if the low bat-
tery message does not appear during that time.
Warning!
Never use a recharged battery.
Do not expose a battery to direct heat, do not short circuit
it, and do not try to take it apart.
Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swal-
lowed, consult with a physician immediately.
To replace the memory back-up battery
1. Turn power off and make sure that the AC adaptor is
connected to the label printer.
2. Remove the screw on the back of the label printer that
holds the battery compartment cover in place, and re-
move the cover.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Load a new battery, making sure that its positive (+) side
is facing up (so you can see it).
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Turning Power On and Off
Press ON to turn power on, and OFF to turn power off.
Important! If you are using the label printer for the first time,
you should reset it first.

play is automatically stored in memory. Then the next time
you turn on power, the message [SET] TO RECALL ap-
pears on the display. Pressing SET when this message is
on the display recalls the text that was on the screen when
you last turned off power.
Pressing any key besides SET, FUNC, SHIFT or CODE
clears the text from memory.

sette. Once tape is out of the cassette, there is no way to
wind it back in. Trying to do so can cause operational prob-
lems with the label printer.
To load a tape cartridge
1. Make sure the label printer is turned off.
2. Press the cover release and open the cover.
If there is a cartridge already in the label printer, remove it
by grasping the cartridge on both sides with your thumb
and forefinger, and lift straight up.

to see that the tape is ready to use.
4. Check to make sure that the end of the tape is not bent.
If the end of the tape is bent, use scissors to cut off the
bent portion.
5. Make sure that the tape is under the tape guide and that
it is not bent or twisted.
Make sure the end of the tape is passing through the tape
guide. If it isnt, pass the end of the tape through the tape
guide as shown in the illustration.
Tape guide
6. Pull out about 3cm (1
1
/
8
") of tape.
Never try to force tape back into the cartridge once it is
pulled out.
Do not pull on the tape too hard. Doing so can break the
ink ribbon and result in malfunction.
7. Use a pencil or some other thin object to take up slack in
the ink ribbon as shown in the illustration. Note that the
tape does not move at this time.
If the ink ribbon is slack when you load it into the label
printer, it can break or cause some other problem.
Be sure to turn the ink ribbon take up spool only in the
direction indicated by the arrow (a).
Turn the spool until the other spool (b) starts turning in
the direction noted by the arrow. This indicates there is no
slack in the ribbon.

you input text and then delete it, pressing PRINT will not
produce a demo print.
If you experience problems with printing, check your tape
cartridge and power supply, and try again.
Part 3 Inputting Characters and
Symbols
This part of the manual tells you how to input characters. To
make things easier to understand, we call everything you
input a character, regardless of whether it is actually a let-
ter, number, or symbol. Explanations here all use the de-
fault settings that are in effect from the initial power-on
screen.
For information on using other fonts, styles, effects and char-
acters sizes, see pages E-12 to E-14.
Important! You can input up to 255 characters per label.
Further input becomes impossible after you input the 255th
character.
Display Symbols and Indicators
Before getting into actual input, you should first become
acquainted with the symbols and indicators used on the la-
bel printer display.
CAPS on/off indicator
A indicates upper-case input, while a indicates lower-
case.
Font indicator
This indicator shows the font setting (page E-12) for the
character where the cursor is located.
Function indicator
This indicator appears when you press the FUNC key. Press-
ing a key while this indicator is on the display causes the
function marked above that key to be executed.

ners. The keyboard automatically returns to normal (and
the code indicator disappears) as soon as you input an ac-
cent.
Character size display indicator
This indicator shows the size of the character where the
cursor is currently located. The letter F to the right of the
character size indicates a preset format is being used.
Block number
This value appears when there are multiple blocks in the
text. It shows the sequential number of the block where
the cursor is currently located (page E-17).
Format
This indicator shows how many lines of text have been in-
put. See page E-29 for important information about how
various format conditions are indicated.
Tape length
This value shows the length that the tape will be printed. See
page E-29 for important information about how various tape
length conditions are indicated.

The cursor shows the next input position. Any character you
input appears at the point where the cursor is located.
Block mark
This mark separates two blocks on the screen.
Return symbol
The return symbol indicates a newline operation.
Character style indicators
These indicators point to the character effect that is assigned
to the character where the cursor is currently located. You
can select between normal, bold, outline, shadow, and
raised.
Vertical printing indicator
This indicator appears when the label printer is set up for
vertical printing. Normal (horizontal) printing is performed
when this indicator is not shown.
Mirror image printing indicator
This indicator appears when the label printer is set up for
mirror image printing. Normal (non-mirror image) printing is
performed when this indicator is not shown.

Part 5 Character Attributes and
Text Effects
The operations in this part of the manual explain how to
change fonts and character styles. These characteristics are
called “character attributes”. It also tells you how to assign
such text effects as underlining, shading, and box printing to
text.
Important!
Character attributes you specify affect printed text only.
The characters on the display do not change.
Remember that character attributes are assigned to spe-
cific characters. Whenever you replace a character with
another one, the new character also picks up the attributes
of the original character.
Text effects are applied to both displayed text and printed
text.
Fonts
This label printer gives you a choice of 13 different fonts.
See page E-30 for examples of each type of font.
The following sections describe how to change the default
font setting (the font that is automatically used whenever
you input text), how to change the font for displayed text,
and how you can find out what the font setting is for text on
the display.
Important!
Note that you cannot make font changes for illustrations.
Note that non-English characters (Ç, ß, Á, etc.) can be
used with the sans-serif, sans-serif italic, sans-serif round,
roman, and roman italic fonts only.
To change the default font setting

Part 6 Character Sizes
Your label printer provides you with three different ways to
change character sizes: direct specification of character size,
specification of character size for entire lines of text using
preset formats, and specification of superscript and sub-
script.
The operations in this part of the manual explain how to
change character sizes using each of these techniques.
Direct Specification of Character Sizes
You can specify various numeric factors to change the ver-
tical (1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and horizontal (1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8) size of characters from the normal (1×1) 48 dots × 48
dots (3mm × 3mm). A character size change is indicated on
the display by a character size indicator. The following table
shows the character size indicators that appear for each
character size.
Horizontal
Vertical
Factor
Note that H stands for half (1/2).
Important! The vertical character sizes you can use are
automatically limited by the width of the tape loaded in the
label printer.
The range (From -To settings) for a character size specifi-
cation cannot extend from one block to another.
To change character size using direct
specification
1. While there is text on the display, press SIZE.

Use t and y to move the highlighting between the two
dimensions.
To change a dimension, press i to increase it or u to
decrease it. Or you can input a value directly on the label
printers keyboard. Press H to specify 1/2.
Remember that the dimensions you can specify depend
on the width of the tape loaded in the label printer (see
table, left).

Specifying Character Sizes for Lines of
Text Using Preset Formats
With this method, you input the text you want and then use
preset formats to specify the character size for each line of
text. Note that character size marks do not appear inside of
text when you specify character sizes using this method. In-
stead, the character size display mark shows the size of the
characters where the cursor is currently located.

About the format menu
The format that appears in the following procedure uses
symbols to indicate character sizes in each line of text. The
formats that appear depend on the width of the tape loaded
in the label printer and the number of lines in the block of
text where the cursor is located when you press the SIZE
key. The following shows all of the formats available for each
tape width and the number of lines of text.
Note that with the preset formats, all character sizes have
the same vertical and horizontal measurements.
24mm and 18mm tape, 1 line of text
1 × 1
2 × 2 3 × 3
4 × 4 5 × 5
24mm and 18mm tape, 2 lines of text
1 × 1/1 × 1
1 × 1/2 × 2
2 × 2/1 × 1 2 × 2/2 × 2
1 × 1/3 × 3 3 × 3/1 × 1
24mm and 18mm tape, 3 lines of text
1 × 1/1 × 1/1 × 1

12mm tape, 1 line of text
1 × 1 2 × 2 3 × 3
9mm tape, 1 line of text
1 × 1 2 × 2
Important! You can use preset formats to specify charac-
ter sizes for lines of text only when there is no character
size specification already made inside of the text. If you press
the SIZE key while the cursor is located inside of a block
that already contains a character size indicator, the FOR-
MAT item will be dimmed on the SIZE menu, which means
it cannot be selected.
To specify character sizes for lines of text
using preset formats
1. While the cursor is located inside of the block of text where
you want to use the preset formats, press SIZE.

At this point, the label printer returns to the text input
screen.
To find out preset format character sizes
Use the t and y cursor keys to move the cursor around the
display. The character size indicator shows the current size
setting for the character where the cursor is located.
About Auto Sizing
If you do not specify a character size, the label printer auto-
matically selects the optimum size in accordance with the
width of the tape you are using. If you are using frames
(page E-19), characters are automatically balanced with the
type of frame being used.
The following are examples of how auto sizing works.
Important! Remember that changing the tape cartridge
may make it impossible to print text if there are too many
lines. Note the following relationships between tape width
and the number of text lines.

Part 7 FORM Menu Functions
This part of the manual describes how to use the FORM menu
to layout your text exactly the way you want it on the label.
With the FORM menu, you can control character pitch, text
blocks, text alignment, and a wide range of other features.
Fundamentals of Label Layout
Before we actually begin our discussion about how to lay-
out a tape, we should first define a few terms. Note the fol-
lowing.
Blocks
A block is text that is enclosed between two block marks ( ).
Note that the first (far left) block does not require a block mark
at the beginning, and the last (far right) block does not re-
quire a block mark at the end. If there are no block marks, all
of the text is treated as a single block. You can individually
specify the length of each block, as well as the pitch and the
number of lines of inside each block.
Print Area
The print area is the actual area of a label that contains
printed text. It starts with the left side of the first character
printed, and ends with right side of the last character printed.
Side Spaces
The side spaces are blank areas that the Label Printer au-
tomatically adds on either end of the print area. Note that
side spaces are only added when you are using auto feed,
and they are not added when using manual feed.
Auto Feed (with side spaces)
Manual Feed (no side spaces)
Label Length
The label length is the print area, plus the side spaces.
Settings you make for side spaces, block spacing, and mir-
ror printing affect the entire label length.
Using the Layout Display
You can check the layout of your label at any time using the
layout display. The layout display shows all of the graphics
and text elements that make up your label to give you a
general idea of how the label is laid out.
To show the layout display
1. After laying out the label you plan to print, press
LAYOUT.

m
c
2. If the label layout is too big to fit on a single display, use u
and i to scroll it.
Pressing u returns to the top of the layout.
3. Press ESC to quit the layout display.
You can view the actual appearance of the label using the
image display, which is described on page E-19.
Creating and Deleting Blocks
The following procedures describe how to create and de-
lete blocks. Later you will learn how can change certain
settings on a block-by-block basis.
Feed setting (E-18)
Screen number
(when the entire
layout does not fit
on a single screen)
Superscript and Subscript
These menu options let you quickly and easily superscript
or subscript text. The label printer automatically adjusts the
size of the superscripted or subscripted text to balance it
with the text to which it is appended.
Important! Note that the Dingbats, the special numbers
and the Greek and Russian characters of the SYMBOL menu
cannot be superscripted or subscripted.
To superscript or subscript characters
1. While there is text on the display, press SIZE.

FEED
You can also one of two different feed settings that provides
either long or short side spaces (Fundamentals of Label
Layout). You can also specify manual feed.
LONG
This setting causes the tape to feed 16.5mm at the
beginning and end of each printing.
SHORT
This setting causes the tape to feed 3mm at the begin-
ning and end of each printing.
MANUAL
This setting provides side spaces of only 1mm of the
printed text. If you perform two consecutive print op-
erations (without manually feeding between prints), the
last character of the first print operation is followed by
the first character of the second print operation, with
no space provided between them. It is a good way to
save tape when you print a series of tapes.
Important! After you finish printing when using manual feed,
be sure to always press FUNC and then FEED to feed the
tape before cutting it. If you dont you will cut off part of the
printed text.
TAPE LENGTH
Select FIX if you want so specify a fixed tape length in the
range of 0.0 cm to 99.9 cm. Specify AUTO for this option if
you want the label printer to automatically adjust the length
of the tape.

Part 8 Printing
This part of the manual includes all the information you need
to print tapes.
Note The following information covers basic printing pro-
cedures only. Other printing related information can be found
in the sections of this manual describing presets (page
E-20), stamp printing (page E-25), frames, and memory op-
erations (page E-26).
Printing Precautions
Never turn power off while printing is being performed.
Make sure that the tape outlet is not blocked before you
start printing.
Never operate the tape cutter while printer is being per-
formed (indicated by the message NOW PRINTING on
the display).
During printing at very high density, printing of very long
text, or repeat printing 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.
Printing a Tape
Printing a tape is as easy as pressing the PRINT key.
To print a tape
1. Press the PRINT key to print a tape of the text you have
input and laid out.
To stop a print operation that is in progress, press ESC.
You can add extra margin to the beginning of the tape by
pressing FUNC and then FEED before starting the print
operation.
2. After the print operation is complete, rotate the tape cut-
ter lever to cut the tape.
Make sure you rotate the tape cutter lever as far as it will
go, but do not apply excessive force.
3. Use scissors to trim the tape to the size you want, if nec-
essary.
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 ex-
posed to direct sunlight or rain. Do not stick the tape onto
human skin.
An easy way to remove the backing from a tape and ex-
pose 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.
To adjust the print density
1. Turn power on.
2. Press SET UP to display the SET UP menu.
3. Use u and i to highlight DENSITY, and then press
SET.

and then press SET to apply the setting and return to the
text input screen.
The higher the number you select, the darker the charac-
ters that are printed.
Using the Image Display
The image display lets you view a realistic image of exactly
what your tape will look like before you print it.
To show the image display
1. After laying out the label you plan to print, press IMAGE.
