Label Printer Menus Replacing Batteries Label Printer operation is designed to be as simple as possible, thanks to onscreen menus that you can use to select the settings you need. Each menu is described in detail in the sections that follow in this manual, but note the following general points when using them. A handy low battery power indicator lets you know when battery power is getting too low for proper operation.

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 styles, effects and sizes, see page 10. Important! • You can input up to 63 characters per label.
• Manual feed indicator This indicator appears when you are using manual feed instead of auto feed. Auto feed is in effect when this indicator is not on the display. Important! • After you finish printing when using manual feed, be sure to always press FUNCTION and then PRINT (FEED) to feed the tape before cutting it. If you don’t you will cut off part of the printed text. • 6mm tape indicator This indicator appears when you use the procedure on page 6 to specify you are using 6mm tape.
2. Use the H J K and L cursor keys to move the underlining to the symbol you want. • Not all of the available symbols fit on the display. The menu will scroll when you press the cursor keys. • In this example, underline #. 3. After you underline the symbol you want, press SET. • This returns to the input screen, with the symbol you selected input at the location where the cursor was located when you displayed the symbol list.
2. Input the new characters (XYZ). • Inputting the new characters causes them to be inserted at the cursor position. The existing characters are opened up to make room for the new characters. To change existing characters to different ones Important! • Any character size specification you make is applied to all the characters on the display. You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.
Text Effects There are three text effects that you can assign: shading, underlining, and boxed text. The following shows examples of each. Part 6 Printing This part of the manual includes all the information you need to print tapes. It also tells you how to print special stamp tapes that you can attach to an optional stamp holder to create your own original stamps. Shading: Underlining: Boxed Text: Text effect changes are applied to printed text only.
Stamp Printing Mirror Image Printing The stamp printing feature lets you print on special stamp tape. You can then attach the finished stamp tape to an optionally available stamp holder to create your own original pre-inked stamps. The following is the type of stamp holder currently available for use with stamp tapes. When you specify mirror image for text, it is printed in reverse image. Use mirror image when you plan to print on transparent tape, with the printing on the inside.
Auto Feed You can turn the Label Printer’s auto feed feature on and off. When auto feed is on, the Label Printer automatically feeds the tape about 12mm at the beginning and end of each print operation. This creates identical margins on both sides of your text.
