File Menu

To select the File Menu press the FILE key. Use the File Menu to create new files, open files, save files and delete files.

File Menu - New Option

Select NEW to create a new document. The printer clears any text displayed on the screen, returns all attributes to their default settings, and displays a blank edit screen ready for text to be entered.

To create a NEW FILE, press the File key, and then select New by pressing the ENTER key. Or use SHIFT-FILE as a shortcut.

File Menu - Open

Select the Open option on the File Menu to access an existing document that you'd like to edit or print. The printer will display a list of file(s) that have been saved.

Push the FILE key and use the left/right cursor keys to scroll to the left of the OPEN option. Press the ENTER key. The Open File Menu is now displayed. Use the left/right cursor keys to scroll to the left of the file you want to open, and push the ENTER key to select it.

File Menu - Save

Select the SAVE option on the file menu to save the current document. You must save the label you are working on before you select either NEW or OPEN. If you do not save first, it will be lost.

Press the FILE key and use the left/right cursor keys to scroll to the left of SAVE. Push the ENTER key. The Save File Menu is now displayed showing a prompt at which you enter the filename you wish to use for the label you are saving.

File names can be any combination of letters and numbers, with an eight character maximum. Punctuation may not be included in a filename. Do not enter a filename extension.

If you enter a file name that is already used for another label, you will see an overwrite prompt.

Press the letter "Y" on the keyboard to overwrite the file. Press the letter "N" to enter a different file name. If you decide not to save the file, press the DEL key to exit.

File Menu - Delete File

The DELETE option on the File Menu is used to delete a file.

Push the FILE key and use the cursor keys to scroll to the left of DELETE. Press ENTER to select this option.

The Delete File Menu displays a list of files that have been saved. You may use the left/right cursor keys to select the file you want to delete, then push the ENTER key to delete it. If you decide not to delete a file, press the DEL key to exit.
