Part 3

Inputting Characters, Symbols, and Illustrations

This part of the manual tells you how to input characters. To make things easier to under- stand, 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 fonts, styles, effects and characters sizes, see page 27.

Important!

You can input up to 127 characters. Further input becomes impossible after you input the 127th character.

Display Symbols and Indicators

Before getting into actual input, you should first become acquainted with the symbols and indicators used on the Label Printer display.

Cursor key operation indicators

Function indicator

This indicator appears when you press FUNC. Pressing a key while this indicator is on the display causes the function marked above that key to be executed.

Shift indicator

This indicator appears when you press SHIFT. While this indicator is on the display, the keyboard is shifted, so the letter keys input upper-case alpha characters. The number keys input the punctuation symbols marked in the upper right corners of the keys.

If both the caps mode indicator and the shift indicator are shown on the display, the keyboard is shifted to lower-case input.

The keyboard is unshifted (and the shift indicator disappears) as soon as you input a char- acter.
