Getting to Know the Label Maker
Become familiar with the location of the feature and
function keys on your label maker. Refer to Figure 1. The
following sections describe each feature in detail.
Power
The
button turns the power on and off. After two
minutes of no activity, the power is switched off
automatically. The last label created is remembered and
displayed when the power is turned back on. The
previously selected style settings are also restored.
LCD Display
You can enter up to 99 characters and spaces. The
display shows about 13 characters at a time. The number
of characters displayed will vary due to proportional
spacing.
Feature indicators along the top and bottom of the LCD

navigation keys. You can move through menu selections
using all four navigation keys, and then press
