After selecting the Label Type mode NORMAL or VERTICAL, the label text can be entered, formatted, printed and cut as usual. With the Normal Label Type mode, the entered text is printed horizontally along the label. With the Vertical Label Type mode, the entered text is printed vertically along the label.

Rotate Mode and Rotate & Repeat Mode

Labels printed using these Label Type modes can be wrapped around cables and wires to mark them. With both of these modes, the text is rotated 90° counterclockwise and each text block printed on a separate label as shown below. With the Rotate & Repeat mode, the text is printed repeatedly along the length of the label so that it can easily be read from any angle.

After selecting the ROTATE or ROT-REPLabel Type mode, specify the length of each label and a frame style if desired.

BLK LEN. (block length): 0.80" to 8.00" (20 to 200 mm) Default: 1.20" (30 mm)

FRAME:OFF, 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 Default: OFF

A single block of text can contain a maximum of 7 text lines, and with the ROT-REPLabel Type mode, only the text lines that fit within the label are printed.

For labels to be attached to cables and wires, we recommend using Flexible ID Tape. When wrapping Flexible ID Tape around cylindrical objects, the diameter of the object should be at least 1/8" (3 mm), otherwise the FLAG Label Type mode should be used. In addition, the overlapping ends of the label or the flag length should be at least 3/16" (5 mm).
