FLAG LABELS
With flag labels, the unprinted part of the tape is wrapped around your wire or cable, and the tape is folded back on itself to
form a flag. The flag is therefore as long as the text. The information is automatically printed on both sides of this ‘flag’ part of
the tape, so that it is clearly legible from almost any angle.
The ILP219 can print two types of flag labels: in both cases, it will prompt you to enter the diameter of the wire or cable. The
printer will automatically calculate the circumference of your cable and will print a made-to-measur
e flag.
1. FLAG 1
In FLAG 1 mode, the unprinted part of the label (on the left) is to be wrapped around the wire or cable. On the remaining part,
your information is automatically printed twice, so that you can fold it back on itself to form the flag.
• Press the key.
• Then use H or P on the navigator key to scroll through to the FLAG 1 mode :
• Press to select.
• The machine will now prompt you to input the diameter of the wire or cable. The display will show Ø= xx, where xx is
defaulted to 6.4mm or 0.25 inch.
• Use H on the navigator key to increase the settings (in steps of 0.1 or 1mm / 0.1” or 1”) until you have reached the diameter
of your cable.
- or -
Move the cursor to the left with arrow Q to set the left-hand digits. Enter the cable diameter via the keypad.
• Press ENTER to select. The indicator FLAG 1 will be highlighted.
FLAG 1 mode can print flags for wires or cables with a maximum diameter of 1000mm or 40 inch.
- When asking multiple copies the printer will print after each label 2 small points to indicate the place to cutt off.
- The printing will stop when using data from the memory which causes an error against the available features. Please verify
your settings and re-start the printing.
2. FLAG 2
In FLAG 2 mode, your information is printed at both ends of a label. The unprinted space in the middle is the same size as the
circumference of the wire or cable. This part is wrapped around the wire or cable, and the two printed ends are stuck back to
back to form a flag.
• Press the key.
• Use arrows H or P on the navigator key to scroll through to the FLAG 2 mode:
• Press ENTER to select.
• The machine will now prompt you to input the diameter of the wire or cable. The display will show Ø= xx, where xx is
defaulted at 2.5mm or 0.1 inch.
• Use H or on the navigator key to increase the settings (in steps of 0.1mm or 1mm / 0.1” or 1”) until you have reached the
diameter of your cable.
