Creating a Simple Text Label

Creating your first label is as easy as starting to type! You don't need special software and you don't
have to be connected to a computer to create or print labels.
This section describes the process of creating a text label with minimal formatting, using basic editing
techniques, and printing the label. For more detailed information, see
page 31.
To create a text-only label:
1. Be sure the ribbon and labels are loaded and the power is on.
The screen displays an image of a label. The blinking vertical line is the cursor and is the
starting point for every label you create using the printer.
2. Type the desired text.
The cursor moves across the screen as you enter data. The standard font, as defined in the
printer setup, is in effect. See
When the maximum character limit is reached an error message displays. To remove the error
message, press the ENTER key.
3. Press the ENTER key on the keyboard to start another line of text.
4. If you wish to insert, delete, or format text, see
