Font function (FONT)

With the Font function, you can change the font of the text to one of the many that are available. For samples of the available Font settings, refer to page 99. The font of the text at the cursor’s current position is shown at the bottom of the display.

NOTE

Letter Gothic (L. GOTHIC) is a fixed pitch font (all characters use a fixed amount of space), as opposed to all of the other fonts, which are proportional (characters use different amounts of space).

To change the setting for the Font function:

1Hold down ￿and press ￿, ￿or ￿.

NOTE

This step may be skipped if settings for several for- mat functions are being applied at the same time.

2Press ￿ or ￿ until FONT is displayed. The setting for the text at the cursor’s cur- rent position is shown on the left side of the display and a sample can be seen on the right side.

3Press ￿ or ￿ until the desired setting is displayed.

NOTE

☞If “*****” appears as a setting, the Font function has already been applied to part of the current text (either a line in the current block if the Block Format or the Global Format function is being set or a block in the text if the Global For- mat function is being set). Changing the setting will cancel the setting that was previously applied.

☞To return the function to its default setting (HEL- SINKI), press the space bar.

☞To return to the text without changing the for- matting, press ￿ (OR hold down ￿ and press ￿, ￿or ￿).

4Press ￿to apply the setting.

NOTE

To apply several format settings at the same time, continue pressing ￿ or ￿ to select the function, then pressing ￿or ￿to select the desired setting. Press ￿ only after the necessary functions have

been set.

Size function (SIZE)

The character size can be adjusted using the Size function. With the AUTO setting, the machine compares your text with the width of the installed tape and automatically adjusts the characters to the largest possible size. For sam- ples of the available Size settings, refer to page 100. The size of the text at the cursor’s cur- rent position is shown in the lower-right corner of the display and with the indicator on the right side of the display.
