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.

|
NOTE
