Superscript and Subscript
These menu options let you quickly and easily superscript or subscript text. The label printer automatically adjusts the size of the superscripted or subscripted text to balance it with the text to which it is appended.
Important! Note that the Dingbats, the special numbers and the Greek and Russian characters of the SYMBOL menu cannot be superscripted or subscripted.

Part 7 FORM Menu Functions
This part of the manual describes how to use the FORM menu to layout your text exactly the way you want it on the label. With the FORM menu, you can control character pitch, text blocks, text alignment, and a wide range of other features.
Fundamentals of Label Layout
Before we actually begin our discussion about how to layout a tape, we should first define a few terms. Note the fol- lowing.
Blocks
A block is text that is enclosed between two block marks (
). Note that the first (far left) block does not require a block mark at the beginning, and the last (far right) block does not require a block mark at the end. If there are no block marks, all of the text is treated as a single block. You can individually specify the length of each block, as well as the pitch and the number of lines of inside each block.
Print Area
The print area is the actual area of a label that contains printed text. It starts with the left side of the first character printed, and ends with right side of the last character printed.
Side Spaces
The side spaces are blank areas that the Label Printer automatically adds on either end of the print area. Note that side spaces are only added when you are using auto feed, and they are not added when using manual feed.
Auto Feed (with side spaces)
Manual Feed (no side spaces)
Label Length
The label length is the print area, plus the side spaces. Settings you make for side spaces, block spacing, and mirror printing affect the entire label length.
Using the Layout Display
You can check the layout of your label at any time using the layout display. The layout display shows all of the graphics and text elements that make up your label to give you a general idea of how the label is laid out.
To show the layout display
1.After laying out the label you plan to print, press
LAYOUT.

Screen number (when the entire layout does not fit on a single screen)
2.If the label layout is too big to fit on a single display, use u and i to scroll it.
•Pressing u returns to the top of the layout.
3. Press ESC to quit the layout display.
•You can view the actual appearance of the label using the image display, which is described on page
