Working with Screens and Menus
The Text Editor Screen
Each time the printer is turned on, an initialization routine is performed, then the Text Editor
screen appears with the previous session’s text in the display. This screen is the home base of
any processing you perform with the TLS2200
™
printer. To change any of the parameters
previously defined, you must access the software features of the printer by calling up the Setup
Menu from the Text Editor screen. For more information on setting the Setup Menu options,
refer to the section titled
The Setup Menu on page 12.
WARNING: To ensure that text is not deleted, always set the rotation value before
!
entering your legend.
After setting the label parameters, you can begin entering the text of your legend.
As previously mentioned, the LCD displays a maximum of one line of text and 16 characters
on the screen at any one time. If a line consists of more than 16 characters, the LCD
automatically shifts to the right to allow you to enter and view additional characters.
Characters can be entered on the text editor screen in insert mode only.
