Working with Label Files Removing Labels from a File The printer creates and stores labels as label files. A label file can contain one or more labels. When you create a new label, you also create a new label file. You can then insert additional labels, remove labels, and store the group of labels as a label file in memory. You can remove one or more labels from a label file. To remove a label 1. Press REMOVE (SHIFT + RECALL). 2. Select one of the following: • All to remove all of the labels in the file.
Formatting a Label Creating Multi-Line Labels You can choose from a number of formatting options to enhance the appearance of your labels. You can create multi-line labels depending upon the width of the label tape, as follows: Changing the Text Size You can print the text on your label in eight sizes: extra-extra-small, extra-small, small, medium, large, extra-large, extra-extra-large and BIG (all capital letters). The text size selected applies to all the text on all the labels in a label file.
The hot keys toggle the label type on and off. For example, if you choose Flag and later want a General label, just press the Flag key a second time to remove the Flag settings and return to General label type. Creating Wire Wrap Labels You can create several types of labels that wrap around a cable or wire: vertical wire wrap, horizontal wire wrap, self-laminating, and flag labels. Creating Vertical Wrap Labels A Vertical Wrap label is placed around the width of a wire or cable.
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. Press OK 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 12.
Creating Module Labels The Module label type allows you to label a row of fuses. You set the width of a fuse and the number of fuses, enter the desired text for each fuse, and print. The result is a long label with multiple, evenly spaced text for each port. You can use fuse multipliers to adjust the width of individual modules as necessary. To create a module label 1. Press MODULE. 2. Select Fuse length and press OK. 3. Enter the fuse length and press OK.
If the data from one label type will not fit in the new label type, the text that will not fit is shaded in the display. To change the label type 1. Press the hot key for the new label type. 2. Make any necessary adjustments to the settings for the label type. Changing the Label Settings You can only print a barcode on 19 mm and 24 mm wide label tape. You can choose to print the humanreadable text or not, and you can serialize barcodes.
Hiding Barcode Text You can choose to hide the human-readable text for the barcode. To hide barcode text 1. Press SETTINGS. 2. Select Barcode HR and press OK. 3. Select Off. 4. Press OK and then select Done (ESC). Adding Symbols Your printer includes a set of default symbols to use on your labels.
Inserting Library Text Adding Graphics Library text added to a label can be edited, formatted, or deleted just like text you enter from the keypad. To add text to a label 1. Press LIBRARY. 2. Select one of the categories. 3. Press the first letter of the text string you wish to use. The cursor jumps to the first text string that begins with that letter. 4. Press OK to insert the text on the label.
Using Simple Serialization Simple serialization creates a series of labels by incrementing one alphanumeric character in the pattern. For example, 101, 102, 103, 104, and so on. To use simple serialization 1. Enter the text for your label. 2. Press SERIAL. A box appears around the first character in the label. 3. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the position you wish to increment and press OK. 4. Select the amount you want to increment each label and press OK.
Printing Options You can choose to print multiple copies of the same label, collate the copies, pause to cut between labels, advance the label tape, and adjust the print contrast. Printing Multiple Copies You can print up to 99 copies of the same label at one time. To print multiple copies 1. Press # COPIES (SHIFT + PRINT). 2. Press the S arrow to increase the number of copies to print. The default is 2 copies. 3. Press the T arrow to decrease the number of copies (maximum is 99). 4.
Using Printer Memory The printer has a powerful memory feature that can store label files for later recall. The number of label files that can be stored is dependent on the size of the label files and the number of images they contain. The more images a file contains, the less memory that is available for storing label files. Saving a Label File You can save label files for later use. When you save a label file, all the label text and formatting are saved.
Using RHINO Connect Software Your printer can be used as a standalone label printer or you can print labels directly from your computer using RHINO Connect Software. This software is optional, and is not included with all printers.
