programming mode, will illuminate.

formats). Press the

key to save the label format.

keypad. To the left of the cursor the display will show the font size on the current label default format,
the number of characters remaining that you can enter at this font size, and what line you are on. (e.g. S4/
53/01 would indicate that there are 53 characters left that you can enter on line 1 of the name file at an S4
font size.) You may also use the ASCII codes shown in Table 12-17. Press the
* REPRINT key to move to
the next line.
6. If there is a second line of data for this text file you can enter it next. Press the
* REPRINT key to store
each line after entering it. If you do not want to enter a second line, exit and save the first line by pressing
the
CODE key. Also, after entering the second line you can save your data and exit by pressing the CODE
key. To exit without saving the data, press the PIECES key followed by the CLEAR key.
