Getting to Know the Labelmaker

Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your labelmaker. Refer to Figure 1 on the inside front cover. The following sections describe each feature in detail.

Power

The Abutton 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 Abutton to cancel printing and return to edit mode.

LCD Display

The labelmaker’s LCD display shows a row of 13 characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters and spaces.

The display window can accommodate 13 characters. As you type more characters, they begin to scroll to the left. See Figure 5. The number of characters actually displayed can vary due to proportional spacing.
