Getting to Know the Labelmaker

The following sections describe each feature in detail. Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your labelmaker. See Figure 1 on page 2.

Power

The 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.

LCD Display

The labelmaker’s LCD display shows a row of sixteen 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.

CAPS Mode

The CAPS 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 Shift 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 Shift key selects the alternate function shown on the key. For example, when you press Backspace, the character to the left of the cursor is deleted; however, when you press Shift-Backspace together, the entire label text and formatting is deleted and the display is ready for you to type a new label.

Space Bar

The Space Bar inserts one or more blank spaces in your text.

Adding Font Styles

You can choose from six different font styles to apply to your text:

Backspace

Backspace removes the character to the left of the

cursor. Shift-Backspace clears all label text and formatting.

The labelmaker remembers the last feature

selection made so that each time you enter one of the feature menus described in this section, you are positioned at the last item selected from that menu.

Changing the Font Size

Six font sizes are available for your labels: Arial Narrow, Arial Normal, Arial Wide, Times New Roman, One Stroke, and Frankfurter. When you specify a font size, that size applies to all characters on the label.

• Maximum of two lines on 3/8" (9 mm) and 1/2" (12 mm) labels

Use the arrow keys to move between lines.

Using Mixed Formats

You can apply different fonts and format styles to the text on a label by dividing the label into blocks of text or pages. Each page is separated by a page break.

The number of lines that can be added to a page is determined by the label width. You can add two page breaks per label. Alignment, underline, box styles, and background patterns cannot be mixed on a label.

For example, if you repeatedly press the letter a, you will see a à á â ã ä å and so on through all the variations available. The order in which the character variations appear depends on the language you have selected to use.

Currency Symbols

The currenc y key $ also uses RACE to scroll through a number of currency symbols:

$ e £ ¢ ¥

The order these symbols appear depends on the keyboard version and language you have selected.
