Part 3 Inputting Characters and Symbols

This part of the manual tells you how to input characters. To make things easier to understand, we call everything you input a character, regardless of whether it is actually a letter, number, or symbol. Explanations here all use the default settings that are in effect from the initial power-on screen.

For information on using other character styles, effects and sizes, see page E-15.

Important!

•You can input up to 80 characters per label. Further input becomes impossible after you input the 80th character.
