CREATING DATA LISTS

The Data Tool

The data tool is used to create printable data lists in the PANTHER™ LS8. The data tool is very useful for customizing labels because it allows up to one hundred unique labels to be created from a list of data. With the data tool, users can input, store, or transfer custom lists of data. The PANTHER™ LS8 stores up to 6 unique data lists.

Creating a Data Tool

The data tool should be accessed from the home screen. To access the data tool:

1.Press the INSERT key to enter the tools menu.

2.Press the directional arrows to highlight the data tool.

3.Press the key to select the data tool.

4.Use the up or down directional arrow keys to highlight the data tool options. You can recall a previously saved data list or you can create a new list. Creating a new list is similar to working on the home screen. Use the PAGE function to move forward or backward through the 100 data list items. After finishing a new list press the INSERT key to return to the main data tool menu.

5.After making all changes to the data tool options, press the key to accept all of the changes and to return to the home screen. Otherwise, press the DEL key to return to the home screen without accepting changes.

6.On the home screen, the data tool icon will appear at the position of the cursor.

Editing a Data Tool

To edit a data tool on the home screen, move the cursor directly to the left of the data tool and then press the INSERT key. Follow the steps list above for creating a data tool.
