Figure 34 • Flag length vs. diameter
6. Navigate to the Cable Diameter field and enter the diameter of the wire/cable to which the
flag will be applied.
The range for the cable diameter is 0.25 inches to 8 inches. By entering the diameter of the
wire or cable, the system automatically calculates an additional length of label to allow
complete wrap of the wire/cable with additional label material left for the flag.
7. When finished, navigate to the OK button and press OK or Enter .
Rotation is embedded in the template design, based on the flag design you pick. Justification is
defaulted to center, middle, and autosize is automatically turned on.
If the design chosen indicates only one text element, the printer automatically duplicates the
entered text for the other area, rotating according to the predefined layout.
In a 1-text design, the status bar indicates two areas but you cannot move to the second area.
Use Print Preview to view both areas.
In a 2-text element design, you enter text in the two separate areas. Use the [Alt + Left/Right]
navigation keys to move to the different areas. The status bar indicates which area you are in.
