Using Tabs

You can add tabs to a label to align text on multi-

spacing is 2.0” (50 mm).

To change the tab spacing

1. Press .
2. Select 

Set Tab Length

 and press 

.

3. Use the up and down arrow keys to increase or 

decrease the tab setting, and then press 

.

To insert a tab

1. Enter your text.
2. Press the 

 key and continue entering text.

Using Symbols and Special Characters

Symbols and other special characters can be 
added to your labels.

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 

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.

Adding Symbols

The labelmaker supports the extended symbol set 
as shown in Figure 10:
