Important! You can input up to 255 characters per label. Further input becomes impossible after you input the 255th character.

Display Symbols and Indicators

Before getting into actual input, you should first become acquainted with the symbols and indicators used on the label printer display.

CAPS on/off indicator

”A” indicates upper-case input, while ”a” indicates lower-case.

Font indicator

This indicator shows the font setting (page E-12) for the character where the cursor is located.

Function indicator

This indicator appears when you press the FUNC key. Pressing a key while this indicator is on the display causes the function marked above that key to be executed.

Shift indicator

This indicator appears when you press the SHIFT key. While this indicator is on the display, the keyboard is shifted, so the letter keys input the opposite of their current upper-case/lower-case setting. The number keys input the punctuation symbols marked in the upper right corners of the keys. The keyboard automatically unshifts (and the shift indicator disappears) as soon as you input a character.

Code indicator

This indicator appears when you press the CODE key. While this indicator is on the display, number keys input the

accents marked above them and the U, O, P, A, S, J, K, L, Z, C and N keys input the special characters marked in their lower right corners. The keyboard automatically returns to normal (and the code indicator disappears) as soon as you input an accent.

Character size display indicator

This indicator shows the size of the character where the cursor is currently located. The letter ”F” to the right of the character size indicates a preset format is being used.

The letter ”S” indicates that the label printer’s small typeface is selected.

Block number

This value appears when there are multiple blocks in the text. It shows the sequential number of the block where the cursor is currently located (page E- 16).

Format

This indicator shows how many lines of text have been input. See page E-25 for important information about how various format conditions are indicated.

Tape length

This value shows the length that the tape will be printed. See page E-25 for important information about how various tape length conditions are indicated.

Character position marks

These marks show where characters will appear as you input them.

Cursor

The cursor shows the next input position. Any character you input appears at the point where the cursor is located.
