Editing Labels on the Printer
Formatting Labels and Areas
If rotation is applied individually to areas, you cannot apply rotation to the entire label.
Data cannot be rotated on a line-by-line basis. When adding a new area, the rotation is the same as
the previous area.
To rotate data:
1. If the label has multiple areas, navigate to the area that you want to rotate. See “Go to Area”
on page 39.
2. Open the label or area menu.
• For a label, press .
• For an area, press .
3. Choose Rotate and select the degree of rotation.
4. Press .
If the font size is set to Auto, rotated data is automatically sized to accommodate the new label
orientation. However, if using a fixed font size, the rotated data may not fit on the label. If this occurs,
an error message displays indicating rotated text will not fit. The Rotate function is canceled and data
is not rotated. To clear the error message press .
Rotation is not reflected on the editing screen, although the degree of rotation is displayed in the upper
left corner of the screen. To view the actual rotation use “Preview” on page 30.
Frame
A frame (border) can be added to an area or a label, but not to a line of text. You can have a different
frame, or no frame, on individual areas in a multi-area label. You can also place a frame on a label that
contains area frames.
Note: Frames can only be placed on continuous labels, not pre-sized labels.
To add a frame:
1. If the label has multiple areas, navigate to the area that you want to frame. See “Go to Area”
on page 39.
2. Open the label or area menu.
• For a label, press .
• For an area, press .
