Typing in the text for your labels is almost the same as typing on a typewriter or a computer.

Insert key (i)

Normally, text is entered with the Insert mode, in other words, the text that you type is inserted into any existing text at the cursor’s position. How- ever, by exiting Insert mode, the text that you type replaces any existing text at the cursor’s position. When the P-touch is in Insert mode, the Ins indicator on the left side of the display comes on.

To enter Insert mode:

●Press i. The Ins indicator comes on.

To exit Insert mode:

●Press i. The Ins indicator goes off.

Space bar

The space bar lets you add blank spaces between characters in your text. It is different from the right arrow key (k), which just moves the cursor without adding blank spaces.

To add a blank space to the text:

●Press the space bar.

Shift key (hor t)

Lowercase letters can entered simply pressing their keys. However, like on a typewriter or a computer, to enter uppercase letters or the symbols in the top half of certain keys, the Shift key should be pressed.

NOTE

If the P-touch is in Caps mode, holding down h or twhile pressing a letter key will enter a lower- case letter.

To type a capital letter or a symbol printed on the top half of certain keys:

●Hold down hor tand press the key of the desired letter or symbol.

Caps key (c)

Caps mode allows you to type uppercase letters continuously without holding down h or t. Enter or exit Caps mode by pressing c. When the P-touch is in Caps mode, the Caps indicator on the left side of the display comes on.

NOTE

☞When a number key is pressed while the P- touch is in Caps mode, the number—not the symbol above it—is typed in, unless hor t is held down.

☞To type lowercase letters while the P-touch is in Caps mode, hold down hor twhile press- ing the key of the desired character.

To type in many uppercase letters:

1Press c. The Caps indicator comes on.
