you will have to reset the language.
Typing labels
Typing normal characters
If you want to type numbers, press
and the key.
Or use the number lock as a useful alterna-
tive to the shift key.
Press to set this feature which makes F-
O become 1-0, press again to exit.
If you make a mistake, press and the
cursor will delete the character on the left of
the current cursor position, and will move
one place to the left.
The key is a toggle key. Press it to start
typing in capitals. You will see the CAPS indi-
cator is highlighted on the display. Press it
again when you want to drop back to lower
case.
The key inserts a blank space within
your label.
Extra characters
LetraTAG XR also stores a large number of
extra characters (such as other letters or
accented letters). It uses RACE technology,
like a mobile phone keyboard. If you tap the
same key repeatedly within a short time, you
can scroll through a sequence of characters
based on that letter. For example, pressing
the E key repeatedly in the French-language
version will scroll through e - é - è - ê - ë. If
you wait for more than one second, the char-
acter will be selected, and the cursor will
move on to the next position.
Example:
Type a twice, and the letter à appears. If
you tap the key again within one second, á
will appear. Pause for a second, and the
letter á will be selected, and the cursor will
move on to the next position.
Graphic symbols
You can also insert a number of graphic
symbols. To insert a symbol, press SYMBOL
(+ )
The display will show: A-I?
Press to cancel or press a letter key ‘A’
to ‘I’ until you find the line of symbols
required. See table.
Use Q or R to select a symbol. Press to
place the symbol in the label.
Text over two lines
You can add a second line to your label by
pressing . If the display shows Abc 123,
your label will print:
The text will be centred on the label. Note
that you cannot print two-line labels in cer-
tain formats (big font, vertical). If you try
this, the message Error 5 will alert you.
