• 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.

• All 6 point text is printed in Helsinki except in default setting.
