Note: Current Cap Lock status is retained when unit is turned off. Space Bar Moves the cursor one position to the right. Inserts a space at the current cursor position. Step 10. Print Labels To print: • the contents of your legend, simply press the key.
Working with Screens and Menus The Text Editor Screen Each time the printer is turned on, an initialization routine is performed, then the Text Editor screen appears with the previous session’s text in the display. This screen is the home base of any processing you perform with the TLS2200™ printer. To change any of the parameters previously defined, you must access the software features of the printer by calling up the Setup Menu from the Text Editor screen.
Setup Menu Options The Setup Menu contains seven sub-menu options for formatting and printing your labels and setting your language preference for the menus and prompts. Many of these options provide you with ways to customize the formatting of your labels. Refer to the Setup Menu Tree section on page17. Printer The Printer Menu contains the following user options: Option Top Margin Adj. Left Margin Adj. Cut Feed Adj.
Option Expansion Description Choices of Width Size adjustment (e.g., double of a 2mm width bar code equals a 4mm width bar code): • Once • Double • Triple • Quadruple On/Off. Applicable for Code_39. Default = Off. CheckSum Continuous The Continuous Menu contains the following user options: Option Terminal Block Banner Fixed Length Description Adjusts the terminal block repeat value. Setting ranges from 5 mm (0.19685 in) to 46 mm (1.81102 in). <▲> and <▼> keys increase/decrease value by 0.
Option Format Description Sets the label format. Options are: Component or Wire. Default = component. • The component label format is designed to print all of the lines of a legend one time before advancing to the next marker. • The wire format is designed to automatically repeat the text of a legend down the length of a marker as many times as possible, considering the number of lines available in the marker.
Others The Other Menu contains modes for power saving and firmware updates, including the following user options: Option 16 Description Sleep Mode Determines the length of time that can lapse with no interaction with the printer before it automatically turns off. The current session’s information is restored and displayed when any key is pressed. Sleep Timer Can be set to Off, or to 30 seconds, one minute, three minutes, or five minutes (time before automatic turnoff).
Setup Menu Tree To use the menu: • Press the <▲> and <▼> keys to move through the menu choices and to increase/decrease values within the range. • Press the + <▲> and + <▼> keys to increase/decrease values within the range by larger steps. • Press to select and save menu option choices. • Press to exit a menu without saving changes.
Creating Legends Using the Key When Composing a Legend It is not necessary to press the key after entering the last line of text in your legend. Pressing the key instructs the printer to reserve space for a new line of text (notice the cursor advances to the next line). Even if characters are not entered on this new line, the printer assumes the blank line is valid. As a result, markers are printed with the blank line, which leads to un-centered legends.
Changing the Font Size At any time during the text entry or editing process, you can change the font size for the label line displayed on the text editor screen. This can be done on a line-by-line basis only. To change the font size for a given line, simply press + <▲> or + <▼> respectively to increase or decrease the font size. Selectable font sizes range from 1 (4 point) to 19 (72 point).

Clearing the Legend Use the following keys to clear the legend: Keys
Function Keys The use of each function key is described in the chart below: Key Description Feed Advances to the next marker. Print Prints the legend. Multi Print Prints multiple copies of the legend (1-250). Serial Serializes legend starting with the character at the cursor. Exit Exits you back to the text editor screen from any Serial, Multi Print, Setup Menu, or List Menu screen. Peel Advances label to peel position. Note: You cannot use this function with PSPT (PermaSleeve) label rolls.
Printing Your Labels Adjusting Burn Temperature The burn temperature setting can be adjusted to darken or lighten your printed legend. Cases where adjustments are needed should be rare as the TLS2200™ printer automatically optimizes the burn temperature based on the material loaded in the unit. Note: The burn temperature is automatically reset to its default setting of 0 each time the unit is turned off.
Reloading Marker Rolls and Ribbons If the marker roll runs out of labels while printing, the TLS2200™ printer stops printing and the following message appears: “Error Out of Label” When the marker roll runs out, the print job is permanently cancelled. Any legends remaining to be printed are aborted. To continue printing, follow the instructions below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Using the cutter mechanism, cut-off any labels that have already printed.
Advanced Features Features outlined in this section pertain to advanced user options. You will find instructions for generating serialized, legend list, terminal block, and barcode labels. Serialized Labels This section discusses making serialized labels with the TLS2200™ printer. Serialization Legends you create with the TLS2200™ printer can be serialized both numerically and alphabetically. Serializing characters in a legend results in a series of markers that increment by one number and/or one letter.
General Guidelines for Serializing Use the following guidelines for serializing: 26 • Both lowercase and uppercase characters can be serialized. • Serialized characters can be incremented only (cannot decrement). • You can choose only one serial type per label (standard or octal). • Serialized text is limited to one line and one sequence per label. • The printer first serializes the character the cursor is highlighted on when the + keys are pressed.
Legend Lists This section discusses making legend lists with the TLS2200™ printer. What Is A Legend List? A legend list consists of one or more legends stored under a list name. The storage capability of the TLS2200™ allows you to create, select, print, and edit legend lists. It is recommended that you review the following terminology before you start working with legend lists: Term Definition Legend— Legend List— Active Legend List— Recalled Legend— The actual text to be printed on a marker.
The List Menu To bring up the List menu, press on the keypad. The List menu contains the following user options: Option Select Create Print Edit Delete Clear List Description Activates a list for editing or printing. Creates a new list. Prints a list. Toggles either on or off. Edits a list when: • a part is not installed in the printer. -or• a part other than the part the list was created for is installed in the printer. Deletes a list from memory. Clears all lists in memory.
Pressing +
5. At the prompt “No. of Copies?”, enter the number of times you want the active list to print (up to 250) and press . This is the number of copies of each label within the list. If two copies are requested, the labels will print in this order [1,1,2,2,3,3…]. You cannot print multiple copies of the list in this order [1,2,3,1,2,3…] from the Print option. Note: If a list is activated but no legends are recalled, the Print option goes directly to the “No. of Copies?” prompt.
If you do not remember the correct part for the list you want to edit, place the cursor on your list name (after choosing Select), then press the <►> key. The correct part displays on the Text Editor screen, providing that you entered it when you created the list. See Creating a List earlier in this section. Press the <◄> key to return to the list name. In order to delete or edit a legend in a list, you must recall the legend.
The Text Editor screen appears. The left and right arrows on the Status Bar (top line of the screen — see below) are replaced by lightning bolts to indicate that the Edit mode is on. Text Editor screen with Edit mode on. a01aa14aaCTaa01a When in Edit mode, the Print, Feed, and Peel commands are disabled. Turn the Edit mode off to restore these functions. The Edit mode toggles to Off when the printer is turned off. Appending a List To append a list means to add legends to a previously saved list.
Continuous Printing—Terminal Block Labels This section discusses making terminal block labels with the TLS2200™ printer. Creating Terminal Block Labels Terminal block labels can be created and printed using the TLS2200™ printer. Simply choose the appropriate center-to-center spacing repeat (pitch) for the block, enter your text, and print as needed. The number of lines of text available at each termination is dependent on repeat value spacing and the font size chosen.
Continuous Printing—Banners You can create banners using the TLS2200™ printer. Banners have a variety of industrial uses, including labeling larger conduit. New continuous label parts designed for banner printing such as PTL-8, PTL-42, and PTL-43 can only be used with version 2 software or higher. If you are using version 1 software, you will not be able to enter text on the editor screen. To create a banner, complete the following steps: 1. Press the + keys to access the Setup Menu. 2.
Fixed Length Banners With the TLS2200™ printer, you can specify a fixed length for the banner. Values range from a banner length of 26mm (1.02362 in) to a banner length of 312mm (12.28346 in). You can set the banner length in increments of 1mm by pressing the + <▲> or <▼> keys. Fixed length allows you to use the H Justify to specify at which point on the banner you want the text to appear. The H Justify option allows Left, Center, and Right justification.
