EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU CAN

Quickly create a label for a home video by using the Template function (➩p. 41). If you

wish, you can then change the overall style of the text (➩p. 43).

Use the NUMBER (numbering)

function (➩p. 50) to print several

numbered labels at one time, with-

out changing the text for each label.

You can also invert the printing to

make the light parts dark and the

dark parts light (➩p. 53).

With the New Block function (➩p. 16), your labels can contain sections with dif-

ferent numbers of lines. In this label, part of the text was formatted using a different

font (➩p. 25) and a different style (➩p. 28). In addition, the Barcode function

makes creating and printing barcodes easy.

Decorate your text using the many frames and shadings (➩p. 32). Then,

just before printing, use the TRANSFORMATION function (➩p. 54) to

change the shape of the text.

Ch.1 Before You Start

Before You Start

MAKE WITH THIS P-TOUCH

With the Area function (➩p. 22), you can

select certain parts of the text and change their

font, size and style (➩p. 25–31). Give your

label a different look by adding one of the 13

different background designs (➩p. 40). The

[SMALL] and [LARGE] background settings

allow you to create your own background

design.

Using clear tape and the MIR-

ROR function (➩p. 52) to

print in reverse, this sign for a

glass door can be read from

the adhesive side. In this

example, a warning symbol

was added (Symbol function

➩p. 17), and the entire text

was framed using the Frame/

Shading function (➩p. 32). In

addition, the label was

printed vertically using the

Vertical function (➩p. 31).

Create a table using the Frame/

Shading function (➩p. 32) to put a

box around each line of each block

in the text. Then, use the Area func-

tion (➩p. 22) to format the headings

of the table.

Create larger labels by enlarging the text and printing it on two,

three or four labels, which can then be put together (➩p. 56). You

can decorate your label using the 475 symbols and pictures avail-

able with the Symbol function (➩p. 17).
