In Learning the Ropes, you will find a series of label-making examples. As the example labels
become increasingly more complex, you will learn how to use the more advanced features
of the machine. The first exercise consists of creating a simple one-line name tag. The second,
an equipment instruction label, takes advantage of several additional machine capabilities.
The third is a four-line address label. Finally, the storage shelf label shows you how to use
the unit’s more expert functions.
