Display Symbols and Indicators

Before getting into actual input, you should first become acquainted with the
symbols and indicators used on the label printer display.
CAPS on/off indicator
"A" indicates upper-case input, while "a" indicates lower-case.
Font indicator
This indicator shows the font setting (page E-12) for the character where the
cursor is located.
Function indicator
This indicator appears when you press the FUNC key. Pressing a key while this
indicator is on the display causes the function marked above that key to be
executed.
Shift indicator
This indicator appears when you press the SHIFT key. While this indicator is
on the display, the keyboard is shifted, so the letter keys input the opposite
of their current upper-case/lower-case setting. The number keys input the
punctuation symbols marked in the upper right corners of the keys. The
keyboard automatically unshifts (and the shift indicator disappears) as soon
as you input a character.
Code indicator
This indicator appears when you press the CODE key. While this indicator is on
the display, number keys input the
accents marked above them and the U, O, P, A, S, J, K, L, Z, C and N keys
input the special characters marked in their lower right corners. The keyboard
automatically returns to normal (and the code indicator disappears) as soon as
you input an accent.
Character size display indicator
This indicator shows the size of the character where the cursor is currently
located. The letter "F" to the right of the character size indicates a preset
format is being used.
The letter "S" indicates that the label printer's small typeface is selected.
Block number
This value appears when there are multiple blocks in the text. It shows the
sequential number of the block where the cursor is currently located (page E-
16).
Format
This indicator shows how many lines of text have been input. See page E-25 for
important information about how various format conditions are indicated.
Tape length
This value shows the length that the tape will be printed. See page E-25 for
important information about how various tape length conditions are indicated.
Character position marks
These marks show where characters will appear as you input them.
Cursor
The cursor shows the next input position. Any character you input appears at
the point where the cursor is located.
