Getting to Know the Label Maker  
Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your  
label maker. Refer to Figure 1. The following sections describe each feature  
in detail.  
Power

button turns the power on and off. After two minutes of  
inactivity, the power is switched off automatically. When the printer  
switches off automatically, the last label created is remembered and  
displayed when the power is turned back on. The previously selected style  
settings are also restored.  
When the printer is switched off manually, the label text and style settings  
are not remembered and a blank label is displayed when the power is turned  
back on.  
If the current label is not already saved, you are prompted to save the label  
when you turn the power off.

automatically adjusted to fit the label. If the text cannot be adjusted to fit
