Editing Labels on the Printer
Labels and Areas
Only the character typed directly after pressing the superscript or subscript key is displayed in super-
or subscript.
To apply superscript or subscript to multiple characters:
1. Type the characters that you want to put into super- or subscript.
2. Position the cursor at the beginning of the character string that you want to display in super- or
subscript.
3. Hold while moving the cursor with the navigation keys across the characters that will
display in super- or subscript. This highlights the characters.
4. Press for superscript or for subscript.
Labels and Areas
Areas are used to apply different formatting (such as justification, rotation, and frames) to different
parts of a single label. Areas can only be added when using a continuous label supply set to auto
length mode (see “Label Length” below). However, area formatting can be applied to pre-sized labels
that have pre-defined areas.
Note: You cannot set a fixed length of an area on a label that has multiple areas. The size of the
area is based on the amount of data entered and the font size of that data.
Label Length
Auto length is the default for continuous label supplies. With the length set to Auto, the label will be
as long as it needs to be to accommodate the entered data, up to a maximum of 39 inches (99 cm).
You can, however, set a fixed length for a label. A different length can be set for each label in a file.
Note: To change the unit of measure for the length see “Units” on page 8 for more information.
To change the length of the label:
1. Press .
2. Select Length, then Fixed. Length is not available if you are using a pre-sized label supply.
3. Enter the desired length of the label into the field.
4. Press .
Add Area
The cartridge must contain continuous labels (as opposed to pre-sized) and the length must be set to
Auto. The top of the screen indicates the label size. See “Using the Screen” on page 21.
Note: Areas can only be added and deleted on cartridges with continuous labels.
