Function Keys - Datamax Prodigy Operator's Manual

5.2 Function Keys

Four function keys are used extensively in the label formatting process.
They are labeled F1, F2, F3, and F4. These keys have the following
functions:
F1 or ESC (SWITCH)
Toggles between the PRINT and CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screens.
F1 can only be used in the LABEL NAME: position of the
CREATE/MODIFY or PRINT screens.
F2 (LIST)
Displays a library listing of every label format and/or graphic image
loaded in the current memory module. Used only when the prompt is in
the LABEL NAME: position of the CREATE/MODIFY or PRINT
screens.
F3 (COPY)
Used in the CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screen only. Enter a new label
name, then press the F3 key. The message "COPY FROM:" will appear.
Enter the name of an existing label already in memory, then press the
ENTER key. A new label is then created with the same data as the
source label, which allows immediate editing of the new label format.
The F3 COPY feature will also copy the current field to the next field
when the cursor is at the farthest left position of the CREATE/MODIFY
LABEL screen.
F4 (KILL)
Used in the CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screen only. Enter an existing
label name, followed by the F4 key. The message "REMOVE LABEL?
(Y/N)" will appear. Answer yes or no with the "Y" or "N" key. If "Y",
the label is permanently removed from the memory module (if the
WRITE PROTECT SWITCH is OFF).
When creating or modifying a label format, the F4 KILL feature also
deletes a single format line at a time. Move the cursor to the farthest left
position of the screen, then press F4. The current line will be deleted.
