Now, let's revise this label using the BACKSPACE key to delete the lowercase letters in our message and use the Caps mode, which allows us to enter a string of capital - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 26
Finally, suppose we would like to add a no smoking symbol, just one of many available on this machine, to our door sign. A detailed explanations of symbol entry can be found in the Symbols section on page 52. 22 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 27
+ You can press the CANCEL key at any time to return to text entry mode from Symbol mode. Since our message is finished, we can now print it. Though several print settings are available, we will use the default settings preprogrammed into the machine. 23 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 28
's assume we want to make an instruction label for an office photocopier. First, we will enter four lines of text containing both uppercase and lowercase letters, then edit it into a three-line label. If you have any questions about basic inputting, please review the previous example (Door Sign) or - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 29
In our multi-line message, we will be using the RETURN key to end one line and start the next. This key operates like the Return on a typewriter by ending the current line and moving the cursor to the next line. 25 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 30
Press the FORMAT key at any time to view the current label formats. These settings can only be applied globally, i.e. to the entire message. For detailed explanations of the global format settings, see pages 93 to 103 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 31

font F1 (Helsinki) and a normal style. For more details concerning format settings, please see pages 75 to 103 of For Your Information. For this label, though, let's assume we want a different style of text: font F2 (Brussels), framed and horizontally centered. Therefore, we must change the format - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 33
Since we wish to put a frame around the entire label and center the text, we will use the FORMAT key to enter these global format settings. 29 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 34
Now, let's take a look at how to store text files for future use and how to recall them when desired.

we could simply press the RETURN key. Three framed and horizontally-centered labels with characters using font F2 (Brussels) would be printed. If the cut pause setting is turned off, the three copies would be printed continuously. If - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 38
entered characters may not seem to align properly in the LCD display, they will line up correctly on the printed label. In this quick practice session, we will make a multi-line address label with local formatting. The local formatting will be used to emphasize a certain portion of the message. 34 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 39
Now, we will enter the address: Imports, Inc.; 29 South Main Street; Malden London. 35 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 40
Using the local format settings, we can now highlight a certain portion of our text by putting it in italics and underlining it. A detailed explanation of local formatting can be found on pages 79 to 92 and in the Local Formatting section on pages 75 to 76. 36 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 41

not seem to align properly in the LCD display, they will line up correctly on the printed label. In this final example, we will make a storage shelf label.

WYSIWYG text entry mode is very convenient when making complex, multi-block - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 43
well as more specialized features, such as bar coding and numbering. Now, we will enter the storage shelf label text. We now want to change from a one-line to a four-line block.

Now, we must enter the bar code information, the last portion of our message. Though many options exist for bar codes, let's assume you wish to use CODE 39 protocol with an undetermined (free) number of digits. A detailed explanation of bar coding can be found on pages 113 to 115. However, this - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 46
42 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 47
Next, we will practice using the numbering function. This feature is particularly useful for serial numbers and other codes which require sequential numbering. In this example, let's assume that we would like to increase the "1" in our parts code while the bar code information remains the same. 43 - Brother International PT-580C | Users Manual - English and Spanish - Page 48
numbers or letters included in the field will automatically increase when each labels is printed.
