Text Elements
Text elements contain user-defined text and characters, allowing direct data entry on the label. Only
alphanumeric characters can be used in a text element. Text elements can be single or multi-line,
however the text element does not “wrap¨ text (i.e., automatically start a new line when the label
boundary has been reached).
Adding Text
The Home page contains the Editor which is where the label is created. The Editor automatically starts
in text mode, designated by the message “Type or touch here...”. You can immediately start entering
data, directly over the displayed message. A bounding box displays around the text as it is being
entered. This box represents the text line. For a multi-line text entry, press Enter on the keyboard to
start a new line of text in the same text element.
To add an additional text element to a label:
1. Touch the Editor screen outside the current text element.
2. In the Add Object control panel, touch the Text icon.
OR
1. From anywhere on the Editor touch the Add Object icon.
2. Touch the Text icon.
3. Enter the text.
A blinking cursor displays inside the text element. The text element’s bounding box extends as
text is entered.
To add another line of text in the same text element:
4. Press Enter.
When finished entering the text, touch anywhere on the screen to remove the text line borders.
