Label Types
Flags
To configure a flag layout:
1. Select the radio button of the desired layout.
2. If continuous label supply is installed, in the Flag Length field, enter the length of the flag (the
part that contains the text).
3. In the Cable Diameter field, 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.

4. To rotate data, tap Rotate to place a check mark in the option box.
5. When finished, tap OK.
