Creating a basic label
Creating a basic label
This section gets you off to a great start with your system by leading you through the
creation of a basic label. You’ll have a chance to see how some key system features work
and to try out options you’ll use again and again.
After you have unpacked and set up your system and installed some ribbon and tape, your
system is ready to go to work. Refer to Chapter 1, “System Basics,” if you haven’t yet
done these tasks.
Follow the steps in this section to type and print the label shown below. Since this is just
an exercise, use any size tape you choose.
1) Turn the labeling system on.
After the introductory screen disappears, the Application window displays:
See
Label creation options
on page 2-5 for more information about the specialty applications.
2) Press the

or
↓
key to move the cursor to the Freeform option. Then press the Enter
key.
The text entry area is blank, and the blinking cursor appears to show your current position in
the window. Notice that the navigation area indicates that you’re in label 1, area 1 and line 1.
At this point, you could choose a standard layout by pressing the Label Layout key. The Label
Layout window lets you select from pre-defined layouts, so all you have to do is enter text and
print. See Using standard layouts on page 2-11 and the applications’ users guides for details.
