The disk will now autoboot the label program.›        Save your label files to this disk and this will make the program›        easier and more convenient to use.›           Be creative, center address labels and type the address in›        lower case with the city and province/state in upper case to›        attract more attention at the post office.  For parcel labels,›        preface the address label with a To:, and your return address›        label with a From:.›           Use inverse video to access italics print on Epson printers or›        the special character set in the NEC/Prowriter printers.›        ›››››                                        -2-›››››
