BACKSPACE KEY

The backspace key (

) allows you to remove characters to the left of the cursor’s

current position. It differs from the left cursor key (

), which only moves the cursor

without deleting any characters.

The backspace key can also be used to quit most functions and return to the previous
display without changing the text.

The backspace key cannot be used to quit the barcode function. To quit the

barcode function, hold down 

 and press

Some questions asking you to confirm a command may appear on the LCD display,
especially when the function that you have chosen will delete or affect text. In these

cases, pressing 

 is the same as answering “no”.
