To input alpha-numeric characters

1.Turn power on.

2.Input the first line of characters.

∙To input the upper-case letters, you can use either SHIFT or CAPS. With SHIFT you must shift the keyboard for each character. With CAPS the key- board keeps its upper-case/lower-case setting until you press CAPS again.

∙Press SPACE to input spaces.

∙If you input a wrong character, press BS to delete it and input again. See page E-15 for other details on editing text.

3.When you reach the end of a line of text, press Bto input a newline mark. ∙ A newline operation is indicated on the display by the symbol. This shows

where you changed lines.

∙ The maximum number of lines you can input depends on the width of the tape you have loaded in the label printer.

The maximum number of lines is also affected by whether you are using normal printing or frame printing, as shown in the table below.

4.Input the characters in the second line.

5.To print the text that you input, press PRINT. For details on printing, see page E-29.
