Adding International Characters  
The labelmaker supports the extended Latin  
character set using RACE technology. Similar to  
using a mobile phone keypad, if you type a letter  
multiple times within a very short time, you will  
scroll through variations on that letter.  
Printing a Fixed-Length Label  
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.  
For example, if French is selected as the language  
and you repeatedly press the letter a, you will see  
a à â æ and so on through all the variations  
available. The character variations and the order in  
which the variations appear depend on the  
language you have selected to use.  
You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.1”  
(2 mm) increments between 1.5” (40 mm) and  
15.0” (400 mm). The preset fixed length is 4.0”  
(100 mm). Any change you make to the fixed  
length setting remains in effect until you change it.

through a number of currency symbols:

The order these symbols appear depends on the  
language you have selected.  
5. Press  
to set the fixed length.  
6. After printing the label, repeat step 1 and turn  
Fixed Length OFF; otherwise, all subsequent  
labels will print with this fixed length.
