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

deleted; however, when you press

Shift +

Clear

together, the entire label text and

formatting is deleted and the display is ready for you to type a new label.

Space Bar

The Vkey inserts one or more blank spaces in your text.

Clear/Delete

The Clear key removes the character to the left of the

cursor. Shift + Clear clears all label text and formatting.

Cancel

The Cancel key allows you to exit from a menu without making a selection or to cancel an action.

Navigation Keys

With the Ckeys, you can review and edit your label, and navigate through the menus. Use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor along the label text or to move through fields. Use the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease settings and to select menu items, and then press to accept the selection.
