CREATING DATA LISTS

The Data Tool
The data tool is used to create printable data lists in the P
AN
T
HER
™ LS8E. The
data tool is very useful for customizing labels because it allows up to one hundred
unique labels to be created from a list of data. With the data tool, users can input,
store, or transfer custom lists of data. Data lists can be created directly on the LS8E
printer or imported from Microsoft Excel. The
P
AN
T
HER
™ LS8E stores up to 4
unique data lists.
Creating a Data Tool
The data tool should be accessed from the home screen. To access the data tool:
1. Press the INSERT key to enter the tools menu.
2. Press the directional arrows to highlight the data tool.
3. Press the key to select the data tool.
4. Use the up or down directional arrow keys to highlight the data tool options.
You can recall a previously saved data list or you can create a new list.
Creating a new list is similar to working on the home screen. Use the PAGE
function to move forward or backward through the 100 data list items. After
working in list, press the F5 key to exit the list. Follow the onscreen instructions
to Save, Discard, or Continue Editing.
5. After making all changes to the data tool options, select Save and Exit and
then press the key to accept all of the changes and to return to the home
screen. Otherwise, press the DEL key to return to the home screen without
accepting changes.
6. On the home screen, the data tool icon will appear at the position of the
cursor.
