Getting to Know Your Printer
Become familiar with the location of the feature and
function keys on your printer. See Figure 1 on page 10.
The following sections describe each feature in detail.
Power
The button turns the power on and off. If no keys
are pressed after five minutes, the power is turned off
automatically.
When the printer is turned off, the current label file
and its settings are remembered for the next time the
printer is turned on. If the battery pack and power
adapter are disconnected at the same time, some of
the settings are remembered; however, the current
label file is lost and you will need to reset the tape
width when you reconnect the power and turn on the
printer.
LCD Display
The printer’s LCD display includes a caption bar across
the top, showing the current label type, and feature
indicators on the right side, showing which features
are currently selected. See Figure 5.
Figure 5
When the text you have entered will not fit on the
label as currently defined, the portion of the text that
will not fit is shaded. If you attempt to print the label
containing text that will not fit, the excess text will not
be printed.
Using the Backlight
In low light conditions, you can turn on the backlight
to make it easier to see the display. To save power, the
back light will turn off automatically after 15 seconds
of inactivity. Pressing any key will turn the backlight
back on again. The backlight key acts as a toggle to
turn the light on and off.
