printed above a key. For example, when you press

Hot Keys
A number of Hot Keys are available for creating 
specific types of labels, adding barcodes, and 
formatting text. These Hot Keys are described in detail 
later in this User Guide.
Working with Labels
You can create a single label or a group of labels. A group 
of labels can be created manually by adding labels to the 
current label or automatically using serialization. See 
Creating a Series of Labels on page 13 for information 
about using serialization.
Creating a Label
The printer remembers the last label that you were 
working on when the power was turned off. You need to 
clear that label text and formatting before you create a
