Getting to Know the Labelmaker
The following sections describe each feature in detail. Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your labelmaker. See Figure 1 on page 2.
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 labelmaker’s LCD display shows a row of sixteen characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters and spaces.
