Frequently Used Keys
The keyboard is used to enter label text and access menus. You will hear an
audible click whenever a key is depressed. The frequently used keys on the
keyboard are described below.
Function keys (File, Font, Size, Style, Repeat), will automatically prompt a list
of selections to choose from. When using some function keys, the printer will
display submenus or prompt you for information. These function keys also act
as “toggles” which allow you to turn an option on or off.
The Alt Key accesses special character symbols shown in blue on particular
keys. To enter a special character, (such as Å), hold down ALT and press the
key of choice at the same time. To abort a print job, use the Alt and the Print
keys together.
The Cursor (Arrow) Keys move the cursor through text without changing it and
through options without selecting any. The left and right Cursor keys move left
and right, one option or one character at a time; the up and down Cursor keys
move up and down through lines of text, one line at a time. When used with
SHIFT, the up and down Cursor keys act as Page up (previous label) and
Page Down (next label) keys and the left and right Cursor keys move the cur-
sor one word at a time.
The Caps Key locks capital letters on. Pressing the Caps key again turns off
the function. The Caps key does not effect the number keys.
The Delete Key allows you to cancel functions or escape
from menus.
Delete erases characters to the left of the cursor. To Delete an entire line, hold
down Shift and the Delete key together.
The Enter Key in typing mode, moves the text or the cursor to the next line. In
function mode, the Enter key selects specific menu options, file names and
default printer settings
.
The Feed Key advances the tape from the printer.
The Print Key prints the current label and advances the tape far enough to
clear the cut mechanism.
The Shift Key capitalizes individual letters and accesses the black characters
on the number keys (such as !). Using the Shift and File key creates it clears
text allowing you to create a new label.
