When the Tab Shape of the Tab Paper Being Used Differs from the Displayed Shape
If it is difficult to measure the shape of the tabs on the tab paper because the shape differs from that displayed in the dialog box, use the following method to measure the shape of the tabs.
[First Tab Position] and [Tab Length]
Measure [Tab Length] by making a mark on the tab of the tab paper to measure.
For [First Tab Position], measure the length from the paper edge to the mark made for [Tab Length].
[Pitch]
Stack up the tabs of the tab paper to measure, and measure the length of the protruding area.
NOTE
For the [Adjust Tab] value, place the tab paper so that the tab is on the right side and measure the dimensions of the tab from the top right of the tab.
When specifying [Pitch], round measured numbers down when adjusting for fractions.
When measuring [Pitch], the accuracy can be improved by measuring the distance of multiple tabs and taking the average.

If the overall print position is shifted up when the tab paper is placed with the tab on the right side, increase the value. If it is shifted down, decrease the value.
[Tab Length]
Adjust this when the print width does not match the width of the tabs on the tab paper.
Reduce the value if the print width does not fit on the tab and printed information is missing.
[Pitch]
Adjust this when the tab interval of the tab paper does not match the print position interval.
If the print position on the tab is shifted up towards the bottom tab when the tab paper is placed with the tab on the right side, increase the value. If it is shifted down, decrease the value.
NOTE
Adjust [Pitch] in small increments, as it has a large effect on the overall printing position.
Confirm that the paper size is not exceeded based on the values specified in [First Tab Position], [Tab Length], and [Pitch]. If an error message is displayed when you click [OK] after specifying the values, adjust the following values so that the total is less than the height of the paper size set in [Output Size].
