Storing and recalling files
Memory functions (
d
+
8
)
You can store frequently used text and Auto For-
mat template text in the memory. These text
files, TZ tape template files and AV label tem-
plate files remain in the memory, even after all
characters are erased from the display using the
Clear function (holding down
d
and pressing
b
).
When each file is stored, it is given a number and
can also be given a file name to make recalling it
easier. Up to 100 files or approximately 10,000
characters can be stored in the memory. All Glo-
bal Format, Block Format and Line Format func-
tions (Font, Size, Width, Style, Line Effects,
Frame, Alignment and Text Rotation, Tape Mar-
gin, Tape Length, Block Margin, Block Length)
specified are also saved with the text.
Since a copy of the stored text file is recalled
when the Recall function is used, the text can be
edited or printed without changing the origi-
nally stored file. However, the Store function
can be used to replace the previously saved file
with the new edited one. When a file is no
longer needed or more space is necessary, the
Memory Clear function can be used to delete it.
With the Memory Print function, either a single
file or multiple files stored in the memory can be
quickly selected for printing.
