Label Creation Functions
Your printer provides you with the following label creation
functions.
● Free Label
Enter any text you want to create a label. A Free Label creation
example is provided under Label Creation Example on the
back of this sheet.
● Preset Labels
Select from a rich selection of preset label formats for quick and
simple creation of labels for videos, fi les, name tags, and much
more.
● Numbering Labels
Create sequentially numbered labels for use as page numbers,
serial numbers, etc.
● Index Labels
Print index labels that are great for organizing fi les. Index labels
also can be created using the convenient built-in preset formats.
● Bar Code Labels
Print any one of a variety of bar code label formats. Bar codes
can be created using the following formats: JAN-13 (EAN-13),
JAN-8 (EAN-8), UPC-A, UPC-E, ITF, CODE39, CODABAR

● QR Code Labels
Printing QR codes has never been easier! A QR code is one
type of two-dimensional bar code. QR codes are often used for
reading names, phone numbers, URLs, and other information
with a mobile phone.
● Large-format Printing
Though the maximum tape width supported by your printer is
24mm, you can reproduce images that are much larger. Simply
divide the image into multiple widths of tape and then assemble
the pieces into the fi nal image after printing is complete.
● Handwritten Labels
Images you draw on the handwriting panel with the Touch Pen
can be used as-is in a label. There are two handwritten image
only formats for printing, and 12 formats that let you combine
handwritten images with input text.
● Design Logos
Simple select a location (offi ce, factory, construction site,
etc.) for easy creation of labels that contain logos that
include illustrations and text that are great for catching the
eye of customers and employees. Design logos also can be
downloaded from the CASIO download site to your computer
and transferred to the printer for use in labels. The CASIO
download site provides a variety of different designs for a wide
range of locations.

Handwritten Input Basics
■
Cells for writing characters appear on the handwriting panel to
indicate that handwritten input is enabled. You can use all of
the cells to write successive characters.
On the handwriting panel, write the character you want
1
in an empty cell.
You can write characters in any
•
sequence in any cell. Characters
are recognized in the sequence
they are written, regardless of
which cells are used.
To clear the written characters, touch 【書き直し】 .
•
Next, write another character in an empty cell on the
2
handwriting panel.
•
When you start to write a character,
the fi rst character you wrote is
recognized and input.
Write the next character in an empty cell.
3
This causes the second character to be recognized and
•
input.
Continue writing characters in the cells until you input
4
all of the text you want. After you are fi nished, touch 【認
識】 on the handwriting panel.
You also can touch 【認識】 after each character if you want to
•
input one character at a time to ensure correct input.
When inputting a two-digit number, write each digit in a separate
•
cell.
You also can confi gure the printer so it automatically attempts to
•
recognize what you wrote if you do not perform any operation for
about one second after writing a character in a cell.
Inputting more than fi ve characters will cause characters to scroll
•
off of the handwriting panel. When this happens, you can touch
the handwriting panel
Pressing any of the printer’s keys during handwriting input
•
will cause any displayed characters that have not yet been
recognized to be cleared.

Correcting Recognition Errors
■
You can use the procedure below to correct recognition errors
that result in input of something different from what you wrote
on the handwriting panel.
Note that you will not be able to correct a character after it is
•
accepted. In this case, you will need to press or to
delete the character and then input it again.
Example: If input of 喜怒哀楽 is mistakenly recognized as
1
2
3
喜怒衰楽
On the handwriting panel, touch the character you
want to correct (
This will cause up to 10 alternate candidates for the character
•
to appear on the handwriting panel.
If you cannot fi nd the character you want among the
•
candidates, touch 【書き直し】 on the handwriting panel. This
will delete the character you touched for correction. Write it
again on the handwriting panel to re-input.
Touch the correct character ( 哀 in this example).
This will change 衰 to 哀 .
