cartridge and power supply, and try again.
Part 3 Inputting Characters and
Symbols
This part of the manual tells you how to input characters. To
make things easier to understand, we call everything you
input a character, regardless of whether it is actually a let-
ter, number, or symbol. Explanations here all use the de-
fault settings that are in effect from the initial power-on
screen.
For information on using other fonts, styles, effects and char-
acters sizes, see pages E-12 to E-16.
Important! You can input up to 255 characters per label.
Further input becomes impossible after you input the 255th
character.
Display Symbols and Indicators
Before getting into actual input, you should first become
acquainted with the symbols and indicators used on the la-
bel printer display.
