Character position marks

•Function indicator

This indicator appears when you press the FUNCTION key. 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 the SHIFT key. 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 automatically unshifts (and the shift indicator disappears) as soon as you input a character.

•Code indicator

This indicator appears when you press the CODE key. While this indicator is on the display, number keys 1 through 0 input the accents marked above them and the U, O, P, A, S, J, K, L, Z, C and N keys input the special characters marked in their lower right corners.

The keyboard automatically returns to normal (and the code indicator disap- pears) as soon as you input an accent.

•Caps indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is in the caps (upper-case) mode. All letters you input in the caps mode are upper-case. When the caps mode indicator is not shown on the display, all letters are input as lower-case.

Note that the Label Printer stays in the caps mode until you press the CAPS key again.

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

•Effect indicators

These indicators point to the character effect that is currently in use. You can select between shading, underline, and box.

•Stamp printing indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is set up for stamp printing. Labels you create with stamp printing can be attached to an optionally available stamp holder and then used as a pre-inked stamp.

•Mirror image printing indicator

This indicator appears when the Label Printer is set up for mirror image printing. Normal (non mirror image) printing is performed when this indicator is not shown.

•Manual feed indicator

This indicator appears when you are using manual feed instead of auto feed. Auto feed is in effect when this indicator is not on the display.

Important!

•After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press FUNCTION and then PRINT (FEED) to feed the tape before cutting it. If you don’t you will cut off part of the printed text.
