A variety of formatting functions are available for making more decorative and customized labels.

The appearance of characters can be changed using the text formatting functions Font, Size, Width, Style1, Style2, Line Effects, Frame, Align- ment and Text Rotation. Most text formats can be applied to a single text line, a single text block or all of the text. However, the Text Rotation func- tion can only be applied to single text blocks or the entire text. When the text format for a line is changed and text is added to the line, the format remains applied until it is changed again.

The label formatting functions (Tape Margin, Tape Length, Block Margin, Block Length and Mirror Printing) specify the general appearance of the label. The label formatting functions will be applied to the entire text. In addition, the Block Length function can be applied to single blocks.

Global format functions (￿+ ￿)

With the Global Format functions, you change the appearance of the entire text by printing it with various settings applied: Font, Size, Width, Style1, Style2, Line Effects (underline/strikeout), Frame, Text Alignment or Text Rotation. In addi- tion, the appearance of the whole label can be adjusted by changing the Tape Margin, Tape Length, Block Margin and Block Length settings.

To change the Global Format functions:

1Hold down ￿and press ￿.

STYLE2, LINE EFFECTS, FRAME, ALIGN- MENT, T. MARGIN, T. LENGTH, B. MAR- GIN, B. LENGTH or ROTATE and the desired setting as described on pages 54 to 64. The selected setting will be applied to the entire text.
