right, up and down through the rows or columns of the
symbol chart, using the navigation key. On the right of the

enlarged version of your symbol. Press

selected symbol.
When you look at the text of your label on the display, a
generic icon representing all symbols will appear on the dis-
play in the place you inserted it. When you place your cursor
under the symbol (using the Q and R keys), the actual sym-
bol will appear in a large format for about a second.

into a label. You can choose the date or time you print the
label (dynamic format), or the date or time you create the
label.

times), and a date icon will appear in the display. This
means that the label - even if saved - will always print

displayed in a large format for about a second. You can
use this to check the date format you have selected.

second. You can use this to check the time format you
have selected.

times), and the current date will be inserted into the label.

format you have chosen. This date now forms part of
the text of your label, and will remain unchanged,
