Entering & Printing Data 4-3
Entering Letters
To enter uppercase letters, press one of the numeric keys in Shift mode (S
appears on the status line). For example, the letters “ABC” appear on the
face of the 7 key.
1. Press Shift to enter Shift mode.
2. To enter the letter A, press 7 once; to enter B, press 7 twice; to enter C,
press 7 three times.
Press the keys quickly. If you pause too long between key presses, the
printer assumes you have entered the letter you need and the cursor moves
one space to the right.
