LM150 WEUdef.qxd 23-09-2003 16:07 Pagina 7 Adding International Characters The labelmaker supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile phone keypad, if you press a letter multiple times within a very short time, you will scroll through variations of that letter. For example, if you repeatedly press the letter a, you will see a and so on through all the variations available. The order in which the character variations appear depends on the language you have chosen to use. Printing Options You can print multiple copies of the same label, print fixed-length labels, review label text and format, and adjust the printing contrast. Printing Multiple Copies You can print up to 16 copies of a label at one time. When printing multiple copies, a dotted cut-line is printed between each label. To print multiple copies of the label 1. Press Extra and then use the arrow keys to set # Copies. 2. Press the Up arrow key to increase the number of copies to print. 3. Press the Down arrow key to begin decreasing the number of copies from 16. 4. Press OK. 5. Press Print to begin printing. When printing is finished, the number of copies to print returns to the default value of 1. Setting a Fixed Label Length Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text. You can specify a fixed length for a label in 2 mm increments from 40 mm to 400 mm. The preset fixed length is 40 m. Any change you make to the fixed-length setting remains in effect until you change it again. To set the label length 1. Press Shift-Font/Fixed Length. 2. Use arrow keys to select ON & press OK 3. Press the Up arrow to increase the length. 4. Press the Down arrow to decrease the length. 5. Press OK to set the fixed length. 6. After you print the label, press Clear to turn off the fixed label length setting; otherwise, all your subsequent labels will print with this fixed length. Previewing Your Label You can preview the text or format of your label prior to printing. A two-line label is previewed as a single-line label. To preview your label 1. Press Extra. 2. Use the Down arrow key to select Print Preview and press OK. 3. Use the arrow keys to select Text or Format. If you select Text, the text of the label scrolls across the display. If you select Format, the format selected displays briefly. Aligning the Text When you print a fixed length label you can choose to align the text at the left, center, or right side of the label. For two-line labels, both lines of text are aligned left, center, or right relative to each other. To align the text 1. Press Shift-Frame/Align. 2. Use the arrow keys to select the desired alignment and press OK. 3. Press Clear to turn off the alignment setting. 7
