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 letter, number, or symbol. Explanations here all use the default
settings that are in effect from the initial power-on screen.
For information on using other character fonts, styles, effects and sizes, see page
E-17.
Important!
• You can input up to 100 characters per label. Further input becomes impossible
after you input the 100th character.
Display Symbols and Indicators
Before getting into actual input, you should first become acquainted with the
symbols and indicators used on the Label Printer display.
