This machine has two different types of cursors. The first, which resembles a bracket ([) in text entry mode or an underline in Auto Format or Bar Code mode, makes your current position in the text. Its operation is nearly identical to that of cursors on electronic typewriter or word processors. You can review and edit different parts of your message by moving the cursor backwards, forwards, up and down. Eight keys (3, 4, 5, 6, HOME, END, 33 and 44) let you move this cursor. Their operations are explained in the Cursor Movement section. While the text cursor is used to mark or select points in text messages, another type of cursor allows you to choose characters and various settings. When a setting is highlighted, that setting is currently "active". For example, if the box setting ( ) is highlighted below the framing setting (FRAME) in Format mode, the characters are framed with a rectangular box. Also, when you select text fields for numbering or local formatting, the currently selected characters will be highlighted. Both of these cursors  the text cursor for pointing and the highlighting cursor for choosing  help you create, view and edit label messages. 49

This machine has two different types of cursors.
The first, which resembles a bracket ([) in text entry mode or an underline in
Auto Format or Bar Code mode, makes your current position in the text.
Its
operation is nearly identical to that of cursors on electronic typewriter or word
processors.
You can review and edit different parts of your message by moving
the cursor backwards, forwards, up and down.
Eight keys (
3
,
4
,
5
,
6
,
HOME
,
END
,
33
and
44
) let you move this cursor.
Their operations are
explained in the
Cursor Movement
section.
While the text cursor is used to mark or select points in text messages, another
type of cursor allows you to choose characters and various settings.
When a
setting is highlighted, that setting is currently “active”.
For example, if the box
setting (
°
) is highlighted below the framing setting (FRAME) in Format mode,
the characters are framed with a rectangular box.
Also, when you select text
fields for numbering or local formatting, the currently selected characters will
be highlighted.
Both of these cursors
the text cursor for pointing and the highlighting cursor
for choosing
help you create, view and edit label messages.
