To load the batteries  
Power Supply  
The Label Printer can be powered by six AA-size alkaline batteries.  
Caution  
Do not touch the springs inside the battery  
compartment cover with your fingers while  
loading or replacing batteries. The springs  
have sharp areas and can cut your fingers.  
Replacing Batteries  
A handy low battery power indicator lets you know when battery power is get-  
ting too low for proper operation. The message “BATT” appears on the display  
if battery power is low when you perform any of the following operations.  
1. Turn power off.  
Turn power on  
2. Turn over the label printer. While pressing  
down on the back cover lock remove the  
back cover as shown in the illustration.

Whenever the “BATT” message appears, press SET to clear it from the display.  
You should still be able to perform some Label Printer operations, but some  
power intensive operations (like printing) may become impossible if battery power  
is too low. In any case, you should replace batteries as soon as possible after  
the “BATT” message appears.  
3. Load batteries into the battery compartment.  
Be sure to use alkaline batteries.  
Make sure the positive (+) and negative (–)  
ends of the batteries are facing correctly when  
you load them.  
Important!  
All data stored in memory is deleted whenever batteries go dead and when  
you replace batteries. Be sure to keep written backup copies of all important  
data (text and documents).  
Batteries can burst or leak and damage your unit if you do not use them  
correctly. Note the following important points.  
Be sure that the plus (+) and minus (–) sides of each battery are facing cor-  
rectly.  
4. Replace the back cover.  
Make sure the back cover is positioned as  
shown in the illustration when replacing it.  
Trying to force the cover into place while it is  
in the wrong position can cause damage to  
the cover or label printer.  
Make sure that the tape cartridge is securely  
in place and that the back cover is closed se-  
curely before using the label printer. A loose  
tape cartridge can cause print quality problems.

E-7  
Function indicator  
6mm tape indicator  
This indicator appears when you press the FUNC key. Pressing a key while this  
indicator is on the display causes the function marked above that key to be  
executed.  
This indicator appears when you use the procedure on page E-7 to specify you  
are using 6mm tape. No indicator is shown when you are using other (9mm,  
12mm) tape.  
Shift indicator  
Cursor  
This indicator appears when you press the SHIFT key.While this indicator is on  
the display, the keyboard is shifted, so the letter keys input upper-case alpha  
characters. The number keys input the punctuation symbols marked in the up-  
per right corners of the keys.  
The cursor shows the next input position. Any character you input appears at  
the point where the cursor is located.  
Character position marks  
These marks show where characters will appear as you input them.This part of  
the display is always blank when you turn power on.  
If both the caps mode indicator and the shift indicator are shown on the display,  
the keyboard is shifted to lower-case input.  
The keyboard automatically unshifts (and the shift indicator disappears) as soon  
as you input a character.  
Basic Alpha-Numeric Input  
The following operation shows you the basic procedures for inputting letters  
and numbers. We will explain the procedure by inputting the following charac-  
ters using the default initial power-on screen.  
Code indicator  
This indicator appears when you press the CODE key.While this indicator is on  
the display, number keys 1 through 0 input the accents marked above them and  
the U, O, P, A, S, J, K, L, Z, C and N keys input the special characters marked  
in their lower right corners.  
Note  
If you hold down any key, it will repeat its operation or input at high speed until  
you release it.  
The keyboard automatically returns to normal (and the code indicator disap-  
pears) as soon as you input an accent.  
To input alpha-numeric characters  
1. Turn power on.  
Caps indicator  
This indicator appears when the Label Printer is in the caps (upper-case) mode.  
All letters you input in the caps mode are upper-case. When the caps mode  
indicator is not shown on the display, all letters are input as lower-case.  
Note that the Label Printer stays in the caps mode until you press the CAPS  
key again.  
2. Input the first line of characters.  
To input the upper-case letters, you can use either SHIFT or CAPS. With  
SHIFT you must shift the keyboard for each character. With CAPS the key-  
board stays in upper-case until you press CAPS again.  
Press SPACE to input spaces.  
If you input a wrong character, press BS to delete it and input again. See  
page E-9 for other details on editing text.  
If both the caps mode indicator and the shift indicator are shown on the display,  
the keyboard is shifted to lower-case input.  
3. When you reach the end of a line of text, press B (the SET key) to input a  
newline mark.  
A newline operation is indicated on the display by the B symbol.This shows  
where you changed lines.  
Effect indicators  
These indicators point to the character effect that is currently in use. You can  
select between shading, underline, and box.  
You cannot input a newline mark when using 6mm tape.  
Mirror image printing indicator  
This indicator appears when the Label Printer is set up for mirror image printing.  
Normal (non mirror image) printing is performed when this indicator is not shown.  
4. Input the characters in the second line.  
5. To print the text that you input, press PRINT. For details on printing, see  
page E-12.

Character size changes are applied to printed text only. The size of the dis-  
played text does not change.  
1. With the original text on the display, move the cursor under the letter “D”.  
2. Input the new characters (XYZ).  
Inputting the new characters causes them to be inserted at the cursor posi-  
tion. The existing characters are opened up to make room for the new char-  
acters.  
Important!  
Any character size specification you make is applied to all the characters on  
the display. You cannot make multiple specifications for specific characters.  
The Label Printer automatically adjusts the character size whenever you in-  
put a B symbol to create a 2-line label as shown below.  
Deleting the B symbol with a backspace or delete operation reverts to the  
initial (unadjusted) character size.

An easy way to remove the backing from a tape  
and expose the adhesive surface is to bend the  
tape near one of its ends. This should cause the  
tape and its backing to separate, allowing you to  
pull them apart.  
Part 6 Printing  
This part of the manual includes all the information you need to print tapes.  
Printing Precautions  
Mirror Image Printing  
When you specify mirror image for text, it is printed in reverse image. Use mir-  
ror image when you plan to print on transparent tape, with the printing on the  
inside. When viewed through the transparent tape, the text will appear normal.  
Never turn power off while printing is being performed.  
Make sure that the tape outlet is not blocked before you start printing.  
Never operate the tape cutter while printing is being performed (indicated by  
the message “PRNT” on the display).  
During printing at very high density, printing of very long text, or repeat print-  
ing of the same text a number of times, the Label Printer may stop printing for  
about five seconds. This is not a malfunction, and normal printing should  
resume shortly (indicated by the message “P R N T” on the display).  
Maximum printing width is 5mm.
