CREATING DATA LISTS

The Data Tool
The data tool is used to create printable data lists in the
P
AN
T
HER
™ LS8.
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. The
P
AN
T
HER
™ LS8
stores up to 6 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 finishing a new list press the INSERT key to return to
the main data tool menu.
5. After making all changes to the data tool options, 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.
Editing a Data Tool
To edit a data tool on the home screen, move the cursor directly to the left of
the data tool and then press the INSERT key. Follow the steps list above for
