In 

Learning the Ropes, 

you will find a series of label-making examples.  As the example labels

become increasingly more complex, you will learn how to use the more advanced features

of the machine.  The first exercise consists of creating a simple one-line name tag.  The second,

an equipment instruction label, takes advantage of several additional machine capabilities.

The third is a four-line address label.  Finally, the storage shelf label shows you how to use
the unit’s more expert functions.

If you are a first-time user, we suggest that you work through these exercises to become

acquainted with the various features of this machine.  Since they do not require much time,
they can be done in four separate practice sessions or all at once.

The
