Creating Module Labels

A Module label allows you to label a row of fuses of varying widths. You set the width of a fuse and the number of fuses, enter the text for each fuse, and print. You can use fuse multipliers to adjust the width of individual modules as necessary.

2.Enter or select the fuse length and

press .

Select the length that applies to the smallest size fuse in the module. You can then use fuse multipliers to increase the size of any individual modules that are larger. The default fuse length is 1.0” (25.4 mm).

3.Enter or select the number of modules and

press .

4.Enter the fuse multiplier for each module and

press .

Each fuse is separated by a solid black line on the display.

5.Enter the text for each module.

Changing the Label Type

Once you create a label using one label type, you can easily change the label type without losing your data.

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.

Example: When you change from a multi-cell label, such as a Patch Panel, to a single cell label, such as General or Flag, each cell becomes a new label. All blank cells are deleted.

When you change from a multi-cell label type to another multi-cell label type, make sure the new label type contains the same number of cells.

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.
