[Full]/[Half]/[Narrow] is for leaving equal margins on both sides of the text.
NOTE:Cut along the printed dots (:) with scissors so the text is centered in the label.

<e.g. 1>. You can also create a label containing text in various styles; print a
text in one style, and before feeding, enter the second text in another style
<e.g. 2>.
FEED THE TAPE BEFORE USING THE CUTTER (see Feeding/Printing).
Otherwise A PART OF THE TEXT MAY BE CUT OFF. Do not try to pull the
tape since this may damage the tape cassette.
