3. When you locate the desired symbol, press
OK to add the symbol to your label text.
Adding International Characters
The labelmaker supports the extended Latin
character set using RACE technology. Similar
to using a mobile phone keypad, if you press a
letter multiple times within a very short time,
you will scroll through variations of that letter.
For example, if you repeatedly press the letter
a, you will see a à á â ã ä å and so on through
all the variations available. The order in which
the character variations appear depends on the
language you have chosen to use.
Printing Options
You can print multiple copies of the same
label, print fixed-length labels, review label text
and format, and adjust the printing contrast.
Printing Multiple Copies
You can print up to 16 copies of a label at one
time. When printing multiple copies, a dotted
cut-line is printed between each label.
To print multiple copies of the label
1. Press Extra and then use the arrow keys to
set # Copies.
2. Press the Up arrow key to increase the
number of copies to print.
3. Press the Down arrow key to begin
decreasing the number of copies from 16.
4. Press OK.
5. Press Print to begin printing.
When printing is finished, the number of
copies to print returns to the default value of 1.
Setting a Fixed Label Length
Normally, the length of the label is determined
by the length of the text entered.
However, you may wish to make a label for a
specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless
of the length of the text.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in
0.1” (2 mm) increments from 1.5” (40 mm) to
15.0” (400 mm). The preset fixed length is
1.5” (40 mm). Any change you make to the
fixed-length setting remains in effect until you
change it again.
To set the label length
1. Press Shift-Font/Fixed Length.
2. Use arrow keys to select ON and press OK.
3. Press the Up arrow to increase the length.
4. Press the Down arrow to decrease the length.
5. Press OK to set the fixed length.
6. After you print the label, press Clear to turn
off the fixed label length setting; otherwise,
all your subsequent labels will print with
this fixed length.
Previewing Your Label
You can preview the text or format of your
label prior to printing. A two-line label is
previewed as a single-line label.
To preview your label
1. Press Extra.
2. Use the Down arrow key to select Print
Preview and press OK.
3. Use the arrow keys to select Text or Format.
If you select Text, the text of the label scrolls
across the display. If you select Format, the
format selected displays briefly.
Aligning the Text
When you print a fixed length label you can
choose to align the text at the left, center, or
right side of the label.
For two-line labels, both lines of text are aligned
left, center, or right relative to each other.
To align the text
1. Press Shift-Frame/Align.
2. Use the arrow keys to select the desired
alignment and press OK.
