Adding International Characters
The labelmaker supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile phone keypad, if you type a letter multiple times within a very short time, you will scroll through variations on that letter.
For example, if French is selected as the language and you repeatedly press the letter a, you will see a
àâ æ and so on through all the variations available. The character variations and the order in which the variations appear depend on the language you have selected to use.
Currency Symbols
The currency key $ also uses RACE technology to scroll through a number of currency symbols:
€£ $ ¢ ¥
The order these symbols appear depends on the language you have selected.
