Creating a Simple Text Label
Creating a Simple Text Label
This section describes the creating a text label with minimal formatting, using basic editing techniques,
and printing the label. For more detailed information, see Chapter 4: Editing Labels on the Printer
beginning on page 38.
Note: The printer also provides easy set up for many specific types of labels, such as pipe markers
or terminal block labels. See Chapter 5: Label Types beginning on page 62.
To create a text-only label:
1. Be sure the ribbon and label supply are loaded and the power is on.
2. Make sure the General label type is selected. Look at the touchscreen just above the image of
a label. If it does not say General, do the following.
a. Press the Label Type key.
b. Use the left and right arrows on the navigation keys to highlight General.
c. Press
.
The touchscreen displays an image of a label. The blinking vertical line is the cursor and is the
starting point for every label you create using the printer.
3. Type the desired text.
The cursor moves across the screen as you enter data. The standard font, as defined in the
printer setup, is in effect. See “Font” on page 11.
4. Press ENTER on the keyboard to start another line of text.
5. If you wish to insert, delete, or format text, see “Editing Text” on page 39 and “Formatting Text”
on page 40.
Starting a New Label File
After editing a label file, the labels remain on the screen. You must clear the existing file before starting
a new one.
(If you want to add another label in the current label file, see “Add Label or Area” on page 43.)
To start a new label file:
1. If desired, save the current label. See “Saving Labels Created on the Printer” on page 79.
2. Press FN + CLEAR.
3. Select Clear All.
4. Tap Yes when asked if you want to delete all labels from the workspace. If you have saved the
labels, the saved file still exists.
5. Enter data for your next label file or use the LABEL TYPE button to select a different type of
label.
