Getting to Know the Labelmaker
Become familiar with the location of the feature and
function keys on your labelmaker. Refer to
Figure 1. The following sections describe each
feature in detail.
Power
The
A
button turns the power on and off. After
two minutes of no activity, the power is switched off
automatically. The last label created is
remembered and displayed when the power is
turned back on. The previously selected style
settings are also restored.
You can also use the
A
button to cancel printing
and return to edit mode.
LCD Display
The labelmaker’s LCD display shows a row of
thirteen characters. However, you can enter up to
99 characters and spaces.
The display is similar to a window that scrolls
across the text. (See Figure 6.) The number of
characters actually displayed can vary due to
proportional spacing.
Figure 6
In addition, feature indicators appear on the display
to let you know when a feature is selected. See
Figure 7.

CAPS Mode
The key toggles capitalization on and off.
When CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS mode
indicator is shown on the display and all letters that
you enter will be capitalized. The default setting is
CAPS mode on. When CAPS mode is off, all letters
entered appear in lower case.
Shift Key
The key, when used in combination with an
alphabet key, changes the case of the selected
letter. When used in combination with number keys
or function keys, the
key selects the
alternate function shown on the key. For example,
when you press
, the character to the left of
the cursor is deleted; however, when you press
+ together, the entire label text and
formatting is deleted and the display is ready for
you to type a new label.
Space Bar
The key inserts one or more blank
spaces in your text. Pressing +
accesses the built in symbols table.
Backspace
The key removes the character to the left of
the cursor. Pressing + clears all label
text and formatting.
Navigation Keys
You can review and edit your label using the left
and right arrow keys. Using
with the left or
right arrows moves the cursor to the beginning or
end of the label text.
You can navigate through menu selections using
the up and down arrow keys, and then press
to make a selection.
