The local format settings, shown in the table at the left, determine
how the text is printed. After the text is entered, use the AREA and
cursor keys to select the characters to be emphasized, then change
the format using the local format keys (
FONT, SIZE, etc. ) below the
LCD display. If the entire text is selected, the font, size, width, style,
underlining or framing, and color print formats can be applied globally.
In addition, local formats can be assigned before text entry.
Since the text entry mode is WYSIWYG mode, the display shows
the text with the selected formats so you can see how the label will
appear it is printed.
CREATING a local format can be done in two ways: by choosing the character to
be included and setting the format or by setting the format before entering the text.
TO CREATE A LOCAL FORMAT AFTER TEXT ENTRY:
(1) Position the cursor in front of the first character you wish to assign a local format.
(2) Press the AREA key. The first character will be highlighted.
(3) Use the cursor keys to highlight all characters to which you wish to assign a local
format. Select all of the characters in the message to change the format of the
entire text.
(4) Press the local format key, located below the LCD display, for the format to be
set until the text appears on the display in the desired format.
(5) Repeat step (4) until the text is formatted as you wish.
(6) Press the RETURN key. This local format is applied to the chosen characters.

Press the AREA or CANCEL key at any time to return to text entry mode
without setting a local format.
TO CREATE A LOCAL FORMAT BEFORE TEXT ENTRY:

(3) Enter the text. All text will be entered using the applied format until the format
settings are changed again.
