CREATING TEXT
Text Style
The COUGAR™ LS9 has two different text styles: Bold and Bold + Underline. To change the text style, press the STYLE key. The new text style can be applied to all characters on a label or just to characters inserted after the change. Text style can be different for each individual text character on a line.
Text Rotation
Label legends may be rotated to 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees in the clockwise direction. The page shaped icon in the lower right hand corner of the display
indicates the current rotation. To change the rotation, press the key and then
press the key. Use the directional arrows to scroll to the desired rotation and press ENTER. The rotation of the legend can be different on each of the 9 pages of a label.
Text Justification
Label legends may be horizontally and vertically justified by pressing the key and then pressing ALIGN. The horizontal justification options include left justified, center justified, and right justified. The vertical justification options include top justified, center justified, and bottom justified. The character “A” inside of the page shaped icon in the lower right hand corner of the display indicates the current justification setting. The character “A” will move within the page shaped icon to indicate the current justification settings.
NOTE: In wire marker mode, changing justification in the direction of the repeated text is not allowed.
Print Offsets
The printing location of label legends may be adjusted by using the Print Offsets
function. This function is accessed by pressing the key twice and then pressing ALIGN. The print offset function has three adjustments: TOP, BOTTOM, and LEFT. Use the up or down directional arrows to select the adjustment type. Then use the right or left directional arrows to make the adjustment.
Adjusting the TOP print offset moves the start of a label legend toward or away from the leading edge of the label. Adjusting the BOTTOM print offset moves the end of a label legend toward or away from the trailing edge of the label. Adjusting the LEFT print offset moves the label legend across the width of the label.
