To Input Alpha-Numeric Characters; About The Code Key - Casio KL-C500 User Manual

To input alpha-numeric characters

1. Turn power on.
2. Input the first line of characters.
To input the upper-case letters, you can use either SHIFT or CAPS. With
SHIFT you must shift the keyboard for each character. With CAPS the key-
board keeps its upper-case/lower-case setting until you press CAPS again.
Press SPACE to input spaces.
If you input a wrong character, press BS to delete it and input again. See
page E-15 for other details on editing text.
3. When you reach the end of a line of text, press B to input a newline mark.
A newline operation is indicated on the display by the
where you changed lines.
The maximum number of lines you can input depends on the width of the tape
you have loaded in the label printer.
The maximum number of lines is also affected by whether you are using
normal printing or frame printing, as shown in the table below.
4. Input the characters in the second line.
5. To print the text that you input, press PRINT. For details on printing, see
page E-29.

If your input exceeds the maximum number of lines, the message "LABEL
HAS TOO MANY LINES!" appears in the case of normal printing, while the
message "TOO MANY LINES TO FRAME!" in the case of frame printing.
Printing cannot be performed when either of these messages appears.
