Using International Characters The printer supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile phone keypad, holding down a letter key will scroll through variations of that letter. For example, if you hold down the letter a, you will see a and so on through all the variations available. The order in which the character variations appear depends on the language you selected to use. International characters are not available when the language is set to US English. Creating Industrial Labels You can quickly create labels for special industrial applications, such as cable or wire wrap, flag, patch panel, electrical panel, terminal block, 110-block, or module. You can also create a fixed length label. Hot Keys are available for each of the label types. The current label type is displayed in the Caption bar. By default, the label type is General with no special formatting, text centered, and the length automatically determined by the amount of text. The Hot Keys always take you to the indicated label type. For example, if you choose Flag and later want a General label, press the General key to remove the Flag settings and return to General label type. Creating Cable and Wire Labels You can create several types of labels that wrap around a cable or wire: Cable, Wire, and Flag labels. Creating Cable Labels A Cable label is placed around the width of a wire or cable. You can enter up to five lines of text and the text is repeated as many times as possible depending on the size of the text and the length of the label. To create a cable label 1. Press . 2. Enter the diameter of the cable and press . To create multiple labels quickly, see Creating a Series of Labels on page 15. Creating Wire Labels A Wire label is placed horizontally along the length of a wire or cable. The label text is repeated as many times as possible depending on the size of the text and the width of the label. To create a wire label Press S HIFT + . The label length is automatically determined by the amount of text entered. To create multiple labels quickly, see Creating a Series of Labels on page 15. Creating Flag Labels Flag labels wrap around a wire or cable leaving the text part of the label extending out from the cable. The text on Flag labels is automatically printed on both ends of the label, leaving a blank space in the middle that wraps around the cable. When the label is applied to the cable, both ends of the label are applied back to back leaving a tail or flag. The result is a label that can be read from both sides. To create a flag label 1. Press S HIFT + . 2. Select Small, Medium, Large, or XLarge for the wrap around portion and press . 3. Enter or select the length for the flag portion of the label and press . Select AUTO to have the length automatically set to fit the text. To create multiple labels quickly, see Creating a Series of Labels on page 15. Creating Fixed Length Labels Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may want to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text. The factory default fixed length is 25 mm. Any change you make to the fixed length setting remains in effect until you change it. 10
