Delete Key; Line Out Function - Brother P-touch 2600 User Manual

The Delete (backspace) key ( * ) allows you to remove characters to the left of the cursor's
current position. It differs from the left cursor key ( f ), which only moves the cursor with-
out deleting any characters.
The delete key can also be used to quit most functions and return to the previous display with-
out changing the text.
Some questions asking you to confirm a command may appear on the LCD display, especially
when the function that you have chosen will delete or affect files. In these cases, pressing *
is like answering "no".

To answer "yes", press _. Refer to RETURN KEY on page 50.
