Checking what you’ve typed
The display will show six characters of the
text you have typed, plus the cursor. The
PREVIEW function (press + )
will automatically scroll through entire text of
the label. You can also scroll manually
through the label using the Q and R keys.
If you want to edit the label, use the Q and R
keys to move the cursor through the text to
the place you want, then type or delete.
Adding a break between two labels
The function (SHIFT + D) is a ‘label
break’. You can use this to end one label’s
text and start another.
Storing text: the text buffer
You can store up to 70 characters in the text
buffer of your LetraTAG XR, in as many as 20
labels. These characters will remain in the
buffer, even if you switch off. If you try to
type when the text buffer is full, the message
ERROR 4 will appear. You will then have
delete part or all of the text in the buffer in
order to make a new label.
You can quickly move to the beginning of the
buffer by pressing << (+ Q). Go to
the end of the buffer by pressing >> (
+ R).
To delete the entire contents of the buffer,
press CLEAR (+ )
Formatting labels
You can use a wide range of formatting
options to change the font style in your
printed label, such as font size, bold, italic,
boxed, vertical etc. The way you format
these characters is shown by a combination
of indicators above the text display.
Display indicators
There are 6 display indicators. When one or
more of these indicators is highlighted, it
shows the relevant formatting option is active:
CAPS: Characters are typed as capital letters
The label will be printed underlined or
in a certain type of box.
STYLE The label will be printed in a certain
selected text style.
B The label will be printed in Big Font
size.
Numbers are selected instead of the
characters.
SHIFT The shifted numbers or functions can
now be accessed
If you try a combination of formats which the
machine cannot produce, an error message
will appear. See error message list in
Troubleshooting.
