USING TEMPLATES
You can create a label that can be wrapped
around a cable or wire. The input text line is
rotated 90° counterclockwise and printed on a
label whose length is automatically determined
by setting the cable diameter.
With the CableRot/Rpt function, the text is printed repeatedly along
the length of the label so that it can easily be read from any angle.
•Cable diameter:0.2" to 3.6" (3mm to 90mm) available
Default: 0.3" (6mm)
•To activate the Txt Rpt function, press and then select
[CableRot/Rpt].
With this function, a label can be wrapped
around a cable or wire with its ends stuck
together to form a flag. The input text lines
are printed at the both ends of a label.
You can select the desired flag length. When [Auto] is selected, the
flag length is automatically adjusted according to the text length.
•Flag length: 0.4" to 8.0" (10mm to 200mm), Auto
Default: Auto
NOTE
•For labels attached to cables and wires, we recommend using Flexible
ID Tape. Use the cable flag function when the diameter of the object
is less than 0.2" (3mm).
•To deactivate the Cable Wrap/Cable Flag/Faceplate function during
operation, press / / accordingly and the
settings change back to standard.
•To clear all text, press , select [Text&Format] or [Text only], then
press . Press to cancel.
•Depending on the format you select, the entire contents of your text
may not be printed. For example, if the text is too long to fit into the
format, the "Text Limit!" error message will appear.
•Text cannot be rotated in the Cable Flag function.
Labels printed with this function can be used to identify various
components or panels.
A block of text is evenly spaced on a single label.
•Faceplate length: 1.2" to 12.0" (30mm to 300mm)
Default: 2.0" (50mm)
NOTE
To position the text appropriately for multiple ports in a single
print, either use the chain print function with the Faceplate length
equal to the port width, or enter the Faceplate length equal to the
total length over all the ports and then use the tab function to
space out each port data.
Using the Serialize function, you can print multiple labels with a
number or letter automatically incremented on each label.
This serializing function can also be used with the Cable Wrap,
Cable Flag or Faceplate templates to save time entering and
printing a series of labels.
