Functions
Alt mode (a)
Accented characters or special punctuation
marks on the right-hand side of the keys can be
added to the text using the Alt mode. Enter or
exit Alt mode by pressing a. When the P-
touch is in Alt mode, the Alt indicator on the left
side of the display comes on.
To add an accented character or a special
punctuation mark written in colour to the
text:
1 Press a. The Alt indicator comes on.
2 To type in a character written in the lower-
right corner of the key, press the key of the
desired character.
To type in a character in the upper-right cor-
ner of the key, hold down h or t (OR
press c to enter Caps mode) and press the
key of the desired character.
Return key (n)
Like on a typewriter or word processor, this
machine’s return key (n) is used to end a line
of text and start another one. When you have
finished entering one line, press the return key
to make a new line and move the cursor to it.
The number of text lines that can be printed
depends on the width of the tape.
To create a new line:
● Press n. The return mark ( ) appears at
the end of the line.
New Block function (d + n)
In order for one section of the text to have a dif-
ferent number of lines than other sections of the
text or in order to apply a different format to a
section of the text (Refer to Block format func-
tions on page 25.), a new text block must be
created using the New Block function.
To create a new block:
● Hold down d and press n. The new
block mark ( ) appears at the end of the
block.
NOTE
☞ If the P-touch is in Caps mode, holding down
h or t while pressing a letter key will enter
a lowercase letter.
☞ To exit Alt mode at any time, press a. The
Alt indicator goes off.
NOTE
A single block of text can only contain a maximum
of 16 text lines. If the maximum number of text
lines has already been entered when n is pressed,
the error message “16 LINE LIMIT” will appear.
