Entering Letters

To enter upper-case letters, press one of the numeric keys in Shift mode

(S appears on the status line). For example, the letters “ABC” appear on the face of the 7 key.

1. Press Shift to enter Shift mode.

2. To enter the letter A, press 7 once; to enter B, press 7 twice; to enter C, press 7 three times. If you press 7 four times, it loops around and displays A again.

NOTE: Press the keys fairly quickly. If you pause too long between key presses, the printer assumes you have completed, and the current letter is the one you want. Then, the cursor moves one space to the right.
