Does anyone know how to keep it from wasting 1 inch of tape everytime I print out a 1 1/2 inch label?

In the Ptlite10 folder open the file PRTINFO.INI, and change the value of nMinNoCutFeed in each of the sections from 175 to 10. This will eliminate the excess tape. You can experiment with the other settings as well. Changing nMinFeed might reduce the amount of tape it feeds before printing as well. Also, I noticed that the setting reset after the unit was rebooted. In fact, you can run the whole program from your computer by copying the files if you'd like to preserve this setting.

This is a tape design problem, the problem can not be solved. Only one print multiple copies or print multiple documents to reduce waste during the tape.

In the full version of the software (free from their site) there is an option to print about 6 feet continuously. But if you're doing one label at a time there will be waste.

Use Chain mode of printing if you are printing multiple labels at a time. I wait until I have to print more than one label and then print them in one go. The disadvantage of chain mode is the last label remains inside until you print another one, so you can print a small blank label at the end. Hope this helps.Please note that I use the full software (P-Touch Editor 5.1) and not sure if the chain mode is available in the software that resides on the printer.

You can adjust it somewhat by setting the margin tab to "narrow". It still leaves a significant space to the left of the printing. I cut this off and use it to make a handwritten label for a small item.

It does leave a space on each end. But if you are printing a bunch of labels at the same time, like repeats of the same name, etc. I just type it in as one long tape, adding spaces where I want them, then print it as one long tape and use scissors to cut the tapes apart. I hope that makes sense.

I use these labels all the time for Etsy, Ebay and Facebook sales. What I do is cut them in half. Then the printer only prints what I need for shipping, including international packages.

The TZe-231 tape I use in my PT1290 has a paper backing that is split down the center making it very easy to separate from the label. It also makes it possible to remove just the upper half, place the label easily into place, then remove the lower half to complete.

It will print half size round labels - just peel and place around the center hole. Which is perfect for getting a few bits of information cleanly on the CD. I use it for multiple labels because its easy to swap the cartridges - the machine automatically sizes the template for the new label. Look up Brother DK-1207.

Yes it will print 2 lines on the 1/2 in tape that comes with it. You have to use a smaller font (I think 8-12 pt is all it will let you use) but it does work!

Somewhere in your program it has a box to check for printing one or two labels; if you check the two labels it will print both sides. If I only need to print one label and the other side is not used I just use it again for a single print label, put the label page in the printer with the label face down and first (with the used label part second)

Actually it is worse than that. You lose 1" in front, and 1" trailer if you print a single label.

I did, but the problem the label has it does not print where the label is. It prints off, I could not get them to print on the printer. What I did was to print a sheet then copy on to the labels on a copy machine

Without standing in front of the printer it would be impossible to give you a complete answer. I would start by turning off the "form tear off" option. There is a small chance that will fix your problem.

It prints up to two lines on a 1/2" and 3/8" tape. Although there are six text sizes available, the text sizes depend on the label width you have selected. The 1/2" tape can handle 8, 10 and 12 point text size; the 3/8" only handles 8 and 10 point text size. I hope I didn't confuse you. You can print the "User Guide" from the DYMO website.

Their is an option on USPS to "print without reciept" when you get to the step right before you print OR you can just fold the label in half! I have done both:)

I don't know of any way to get around this "feature". The machine appears to be programmed to stick the inch or so leader on the label. It appears to me that the manufacturer knew this was a issue because they print the two small dots at the point where the label has to be cut to center it. I wish I had a solution for you. Good luck in finding one.

I haven't needed to print vertical labels but, just for you, I walked through the process of selecting the template all the way to printing the label. However, since I don't need this at least for now, I didn't actually print the label because it requires a .70" tape and I only have .47" tapes. I've been very pleased with the quality of the labeler but had problems with the tapes I ordered. Two out of the 3 I ordered were fine but one was broken. Price was still pretty good for 2 tapes but I'll probably purchase them from a local store next time.

Yes. The user manual reads:"Creating Two-Line LabelsYou can print a maximum of two lines on a label. Only oneline of text can be printed on 1/4" labels."
