Adding Symbols

The labelmaker supports the extended symbol set as shown in Figure 9.

To add a symbol

1. Press Symbols . The first row of symbols shown in the table appears in the display.

2.Use the arrow keys to move to the desired symbol. The left and right arrows move horizontally along a row of symbols. The up and down arrow keys scroll vertically through the rows of symbols.

To quickly see a row of symbols, you can press the letter corresponding to the row you want.

3.When you locate the symbol, press to add the symbol to your label text.

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 à â 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 to scroll through a number of currency symbols:

€ £ $ ¢ ¥

The order these symbols appear depends on the language you have selected.

Printing Options

You can print multiple copies of a label at one time, print fixed-length labels, review label text and format, and adjust the printing contrast.

Printing a Fixed-Length Label

Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text.

You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.1” (2 mm) increments between 1.5” (40 mm) and 15.0” (400 mm). The preset fixed length is 4.0” (100 mm). Any change you make to the fixed length setting remains in effect until you change it.

4.Press the down arrow to decrease the length.

5.Press to set the fixed length.

6.After printing the label, repeat step 1 and turn Fixed Length OFF; otherwise, all subsequent labels will print with this fixed length.
