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 print a flag label 1. Press FLAG. 2. Enter the length for the flag portion of the label. Select AUTO to have the length automatically set to fit the text. The total length of the label is calculated by doubling the flag length and adding 34 mm to wrap around the cable. 3. Select Done (ESC) to create the label. 4. Enter the text for the label and press PRINT. To create multiple labels quickly, see Creating a Series of Labels on page 18. Creating Fixed Length Labels Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish 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 1.0" (25 mm). Any change you make to the fixed length setting remains in effect until you change it. To set the label length 1. Press FIXED. 2. Enter the length of the label and press OK. Any text that does not fit within the fixed length appears shaded in the display and will be truncated when the label is printed. Creating Patch Panel Labels Patch panel mode allows you to label a row of ports on a patch panel. You select the distance between ports, enter the desired text, and print. The result is a long label with multiple, evenly spaced text for each port. To create a patch panel label 1. Press PPANEL. 2. Select Port distance. 3. Enter the distance between each port and press OK. The factory default is 0.6" (15 mm). 4. Select # of ports. 5. Enter the number of ports and press OK. 6. Select Done (ESC) to create the label. Each port is separated by a solid black line on the display. 7. Enter the text for each port in the label. Use the left or right arrow key to move from port to port. To create data for the ports automatically, see Creating a Series of Labels on page 18. To print vertical lines between the ports, see Printing Vertical Lines between Cells on page 16. Creating Terminal Block Labels Terminal block labels are very similar to patch panel labels; however, the text is printed vertically for each block. To create a terminal block label 1. Press TBLOCK. 2. Select # of blocks and press OK. 3. Enter the number of blocks and press OK. 4. Select Block size and press OK. 14
