Markers

The symbols illustrated and described in the following table are called markers. They appear in the
text entry area to show where you have changed the look of a label or inserted a special feature
such as a sequence or a bar code. When you print a label, the markers do not print but the
information in the marker is used to determine how the label should be printed.

System Basics
What it represents
Displays when you use the Type Options key or if you select a type style
or type size for a certain section of text. All text following the marker
uses the setting that was selected at the marker until the setting is
changed again. The system inserts a change marker each time you
make a type change; you could have several markers in a row if you
make multiple changes. (If you make multiple changes in a window at
one time, such as in the Type Options window, all changes are stored in
the same change marker.) If you prefer to have fewer change markers,
make your first type change, place the cursor on that change marker and
make your other changes. This stores the changes in one marker.
