This page explains how to use the STYLE key to assign text formatting attributes to your label text. It covers the three most often used styles, bold, italic and underline.
There are three types of text attributes: character, line and page. These attributes, as well as their defaults and options, are listed in the following table:
|
* Attributes marked with an asterisk are toggles. Those marked with a plus "+" are line attributes. They affect the entire line of text the cursor is positioned on. Those marked with a carat, ^ are page attributes. They affect the entire page (label). All other attributes (except FRAME) are character attributes only and affect the text from the point where the cursor is positioned.
The following style settings are available on the K5100: Rotate, Bold, Italic, Underline, Justify, Mirror, Frame and Vertical.
To select multiple styles, with fewer keystrokes, use the SPACE key and the cursor keys to turn styles on and off.
Note: When the STYLE menu is selected, all selections are not visible on the LCD display—you will have to use the left/right cursor keys to scroll through the available options.
The following images show labels printed with three different styles. The top label has no formatting. The second label is bold. The third label is in italic. And the text in the fourth label is underlined.
To emphasize the text on a label using BOLD, move the cursor to the position where you want to apply the BOLD attribute and press the STYLE key. Use the left/right cursor keys to move the cursor to the left of BOLD and press ENTER. When turned on an asterisk will appear.
To turn BOLD off, press ENTER again or to exit press the DEL key.
To italicize the text on a label using ITALIC, move the cursor to the position where you want to start applying the ITALIC attribute and press the STYLE key. Use the left/right cursor keys to move the cursor to the left of ITALIC and press ENTER. When turned on an asterisk will appear.
To turn ITALIC off, press ENTER again or to exit press the DEL key.
To underline text on a label using UNDERLINE, move the cursor to the position where you want to start applying the UNDERLINE attribute and press the STYLE key. Use the left/right cursor keys to move the cursor to the left of UNDERLINE and press ENTER. When turned on an asterisk will appear.
To turn UNDERLINE off, press ENTER again or to exit press the DEL key.
