Using the date and time option
Use the Date/Time key to quickly add the current date and/or time to your labels. When
you use this function, a marker is placed on the label; whenever you print the label, the
current date and/or time will be printed in place of the marker.
The first subsection in this section describes how to add the date or time to a label. The
remaining subsections explain how to set the date and time and how to set up the format in
which they are displayed.
Entering the date and time on a label
Follow these steps to enter the date and time on a label:
1) Move the cursor to where you want the date and/or time to appear on the label.
2) Press the Date/Time key.
The date/time marker shown below displays in the text entry area. When you print the label, the
current date and/or time prints in place of the marker. How the information is printed depends
on the options you've selected for the date/time format. (Refer to
page 3-27.) The date and time will be printed using the font, type size and other options that are
in effect when you press the Date/Time key.
