Description

Learn how to print on tubes and clear tubes with the Mk1500.

Solution

Number of Characters That Can Be Entered

The printer can accept data input of approximately 2500 characters on all pages combined. If the printer's capacity is exceeded, the messages Not enough memory Character input is no longer possible appears. If this occurs, save all text data, delete all characters that are displayed on the display, then continue entering new characters.
 

What is a Page?

As used in relation to the printer, the term Page has special meaning. The text entries 200VPump Room, and A1 that were entered are actually entered on three separate pages. A new page is automatically created whenever you enter characters and press [Enter].

Examples of pages
 

Viewing Data from a Previous Page

If there is a page preceding the currently displayed page, Left arrow appears in the upper left corner of the display. If you press the Left arrow key and move the cursor to the left past the first character that is currently shown on the display, the display will change to show the character data from the preceding page. You can also jump to the preceding page by pressing ShiftLeft arrow.

If there is a page following the currently displayed page, Right arrow appears in the upper right corner of the display. If you press the Right arrow key and move the cursor to the right past the last character that is currently shown on the display, the display will change to show the character data from the next page. You can also jump to the preceding page by pressing Shift + Right arrow.
