CREATING TEXT
The Text Tool
After turning on the VIPER™ LS6, the home screen will appear. The home screen is also the text editor.
To create text on the home screen, simply begin pressing the alphabetic or numeric keys on the keypad. Text will be entered at the position of the cursor. The cursor is indicated by a dark line or dark box highlighting a
character. To insert blank spaces, press the 
key. Press 
to move down to the next line. Use the directional arrow keys to move the cursor up, down, right, or left. The maximum number of text characters allowed to be placed on each line is 32. Typically, continuous tape must be used to fit up to 32 characters on a line. The maximum number of lines available for each label page is 8.
Inserting or Deleting Text
To remove characters from the screen, press the 
key. Each press of
the 
key will delete one character at a time immediately to the left of the cursor. To insert characters into a string of text, move the cursor to the position immediately to the right of where the text will be inserted and then begin entering text.
Text Size
The VIPER™ LS6 has 13 different font sizes available for creating text. The font sizes range from 6 pt. to 192 pt. Text size can be increased by pressing
the 
key and then the 
key. Text size can be decreased by pressing
the 
key and then the 
key. The current text size is displayed on the top of the home screen next to the text size icon.
