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 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 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 5.) The number of characters actually displayed can vary due to proportional spacing.
