Timer / Date Menu
The Time / Date Menu is used to print
labels with the time and date automatically included
on them.
To select the TIME / DATE Menu hold
down the SHIFT key and push the REPEAT key.
Important: To use the Time / Date
functions you must first set the real time clock with
the local time and date. This will lock the time and
date into the printer's memory. This only needs to be
done once, except for the changes to and from daylight
savings time.
Setting The Time & Date
Push SHIFT-REP and then select SET
CLOCK, by using the cursor keys to scroll to the SETCLOCK
option on the Time / Date Menu. Then press ENTER. You'll
then be able to scroll vertically -- using the up /down
cursor keys -- through the following settings. You may
type in a new value whenever the cursor is on one of
these settings.
Year __
Month __
Day __
Hour __
Minute __

Once you have typed in the new date
and time, or made all the changes you wish, push the
ENTER key to save the new settings and exit. Push the
DEL key to exit without saving the changes you made.
Adding The Time To Your Label
Select TIME to add the current time
to your label.
Position the cursor within the label
text at the point at which you'd like to include the
time. On the Time / Date Menu use the cursor keys to
move the cursor so that it is directly to the left of
TIME, then push ENTER. The time will be inserted into
the label at the point where the cursor is located.
The time can be formatted or deleted just as though
you had physically typed it in.
Adding The Date To A Label
Select DATE to add the current date
to your label.
Position the cursor within the label
text at the point at which you'd like to include the
date. On the Time / Date Menu use the cursor keys to
move the cursor so that it is directly to the left of
DATE, then push the ENTER key. The Date Menu will appear
offering six formats (mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy, mm/dd/yyyy,
dd/mm/yyyy, dd.mm.yy, and dd.mm.yyy). Select the format
you want and push the ENTER key.
The date will be inserted into the
label at the point where the cursor is located. The
date can be formatted or deleted just as though you
had physically typed it in.
Note: Do not confuse the Time and Date
options with the STAMP option. The Time and Date functions
enter the current time/date on the label at the location
of the cursor. Once entered they are considered as part
of the text of the label--just as though you typed them
by hand. The STAMP function will always print the current
time at the time the label is printed.
Using The Time/Date Stamp Function
Select STAMP to have the current date
and time--at the time of printing--included vertically
on the leading edge of the label. Each time you press
PRINT, a stamp with the current date and time will be
printed in ddhhmmMMMyy format.
Go to the Time/Date Menu and use the
cursor keys to scroll to the left of STAMP. Then push
the ENTER key. This will turn the Stamp feature on and
mark it with an asterisk. To turn it off, put the cursor
on STAMP and press the ENTER key again.
Note: Using the stamp on tape supply
that is less than 1/2" is not recommended.
24 Hour Mode
If you select the 24 HOUR MODE the
time will be printed in the text of a label--when using
the TIME option--in 24 hour mode. In other words 1pm
will be printed as "13".
In the Time / Date Menu use the cursor
keys to scroll to the left of 24 HOUR MODE, and press
ENTER. This will toggle the 24 Hour Mode on and display
an asterisk. To turn it off, scroll to 24 Hour Mode
again and press ENTER.
