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-13.

Important!

•You can input up to 95 characters per label. Further input becomes impossible after you input the 95th character.

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