Functions Ch. 3 Functions Storing and recalling files Memory functions (d + 8) You can store frequently used text and Auto Format template text in the memory. These text files, TZ tape template files and AV label template files remain in the memory, even after all characters are erased from the display using the Clear function (holding down d and pressing b). When each file is stored, it is given a number and can also be given a file name to make recalling it easier. Up to 100 files or approximately 10,000 characters can be stored in the memory. All Global Format, Block Format and Line Format functions (Font, Size, Width, Style, Line Effects, Frame, Alignment and Text Rotation, Tape Margin, Tape Length, Block Margin, Block Length) specified are also saved with the text. Since a copy of the stored text file is recalled when the Recall function is used, the text can be edited or printed without changing the originally stored file. However, the Store function can be used to replace the previously saved file with the new edited one. When a file is no longer needed or more space is necessary, the Memory Clear function can be used to delete it. With the Memory Print function, either a single file or multiple files stored in the memory can be quickly selected for printing. NOTE TZ tape and AV label templates from the Auto Format function can also be stored while the template is being selected, while text is being entered or while the MENU screen is displayed. To store the template with text and a specific character style, type in the text for each field, and then select the style of the text before storing the template.

When each file is stored, it is given a number and

bal Format, Block Format and Line Format func-
tions (Font, Size, Width, Style, Line Effects,
Frame, Alignment and Text Rotation, Tape Mar-
gin, Tape Length, Block Margin, Block Length)

Since a copy of the stored text file is recalled
when the Recall function is used, the text can be
edited or printed without changing the origi-
nally stored file. However, the Store function
can be used to replace the previously saved file
with the new edited one. When a file is no
longer needed or more space is necessary, the
Memory Clear function can be used to delete it.

file or multiple files stored in the memory can be
