Getting to Know Your Labelmaker
The following sections describe each feature
in detail. Become familiar with the location of
the feature and function keys. See Figure 1 on
page 2.
The Display
The LCD display shows a row of 13 characters.
However, you can enter up to 99 characters/
spaces. The display is similar to a window that
scrolls across the text. (See Figure 5.) The
number of characters actually displayed can
vary due to proportional spacing.
