NOTE

A single label can only contain a maximum of

fifty text blocks. If the maximum number of text blocks has already been entered when ￿ is held down and ￿ is pressed, the error mes-

sage “50 LINE LIMIT REACHED!” will appear.

To split a text block into two, position the cur-

sor under the character that you want to start the next block, and then hold down ￿ and press ￿.

To create a new block:

Hold down ￿ and press ￿. The new

block mark ( ) appears at the end of the block.

Symbol key (￿)

In addition to the letters, symbols and numerals on the key tops, there are over 440 additional symbols and pictures available with the Symbol function. After these symbols or pictures are added to the text, they can be deleted like any other character, and some can be formatted using certain text formatting functions (see pages 54 through 61).

A table of the available symbols can be found on pages 96 through 98.

To add a symbol or picture to the text:

1Press ￿. A row of symbols appears in the display.

NOTE

To type in a series of symbols, hold down ￿ before pressing ￿. Then, continue adding

symbols by selecting them as explained in step

the series.

A symbol can also be selected by typing in the

corresponding code indicated in the table of available symbols. For example, pressing ￿

displays the GARDENING category, and then pressing ￿ displays the third symbol of the GARDENING category.

Accent function (￿+ ￿)

The Accent function can be used to add accented characters to your text. Many of these characters can also be found on the keys and typed in using ￿(refer to page 47).

The accented characters are grouped according to the uppercase or lowercase letter that they are combined with. The following table shows the available characters.
