Getting to Know the Labelmaker
The following sections describe each feature in detail.
Become familiar with the location of the feature and
function keys on your labelmaker. See Figure 1 on
page 2.
Power
The
button turns the power on and off. After two
minutes of no activity, the power is switched off
automatically. The last label created is remembered
and displayed when the power is turned back on. The
previously selected style settings are also restored.
LCD Display
The labelmaker’s LCD display shows a row of sixteen
characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters
and spaces.
The display is similar to a window that scrolls across
the text. (See Figure 6.) The number of characters
actually displayed can vary due to proportional
spacing.
Figure 6
In addition, feature indicators appear on the display to
let you know when a feature is selected. See Figure 7.

CAPS Mode
The
CAPS
key toggles capitalization on and off. When
CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS mode indicator is
shown on the display and all letters that you enter will
be capitalized. The default setting is CAPS mode on.
When CAPS mode is off, all letters entered appear in
lower case.
Shift Key
The
Shift
key, when used in combination with an
alphabet key, changes the case of the selected letter.
When used in combination with number keys or
function keys, the
Shift
key selects the alternate
function shown on the key. For example, when you
press
Backspace
, the character to the left of the
cursor is deleted; however, when you press
Shift-Backspace
together, the entire label text and
formatting is deleted and the display is ready for you
to type a new label.
