Getting to Know the Label Maker
The following sections describe each feature in detail. Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your label maker. See Figure 1 on page 4.
Power
The 
button turns the power on and off. After two minutes of no activity, the power is switched off automatically. The last label created is remembered and displayed when the power is turned back on. The previously selected style settings are also restored.
LCD Display
The label maker’s LCD display shows a row of sixteen characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters and spaces.
The display is similar to a window that scrolls across the text. (See Figure 6.) The number of characters actually displayed can vary due to proportional spacing.

CAPS Mode
The CAPS key toggles capitalization on and off. When CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS mode indicator is shown on the display and all letters that you enter will be capitalized. The default setting is CAPS mode on. When CAPS mode is off, all letters entered appear in lower case.
Shift Key
The Shift key, when used in combination with an alphabet key, changes the case of the selected letter. When used in combination with number keys or function keys, the Shift key selects the alternate function shown on the key. For example, when you press Backspace, the character to the left of the cursor is deleted; however, when you press Shift+Backspace together, the entire label text and formatting is deleted and the display is ready for you to type a new label.
