Entering text
Typing in the text for your labels is almost the
same as typing on a typewriter or a computer.
Insert key (
±
)
Normally, text is entered with the Insert mode,
in other words, the text that you type is inserted
into any existing text at the cursor’s position.
However, by exiting Insert mode, the text that
you type replaces any existing text at the cur-
sor’s position. When the P-touch is in Insert

Ins
indicator comes on.

bols in the top half of certain keys, the Shift key

on the top half of certain keys:
●
Hold down
²
or
³
and press the key of
the desired letter or symbol.

indicator comes on.

bols.
