How to create a cable label

The cable label function allows you to create two types of cable labels.
> Cable Wrap

> Cable Flag

  • We recommend using Flexible ID Tape for labels attached to cables and wires.
  • To cancel the Cable Wrap/Cable Flag functions during operation, press the [Cable Wrap] or [Cable Flag] key accordingly.
  • Depending on the format you select, the entire contents of your text may not be printed. For example, if the text is too long to fit into the format, the [Text Limit!] error message will appear.
