Terminal Block and Patch Panel on the BMP51, BMP53 and M510When creating terminal block or patch panel labels on the BMP51 & BMP53 printer models, the minimum port spacing is .375". This length applies to using either the printer stand alone or when using the LabelMark software.
Note: Terminal Block, Patch Panel and 66-Block are designed to be used with continuous labels. If a cartridge with continuous labels is not installed, these label types do not display in the menu.
How to Create a Terminal Block, Patch Panel or 66-Block labels:
- Press LABEL TYPE.
- Select Terminal Block, Patch Panel or 66-BLOCK and press Enter .
All three types contain the same settings.
- If you are going to set up a sequence to enter data, highlight the Serialize box and press Enter to place a check mark in the box. If you will manually enter data, leave the box empty.
If you intend to use serialization, you do not need to enter the number of terminals. The serialization values determine how many labels to create.
- In the Terminal Repeat field, indicate the size of the gap between each terminal (with a minimum size of 0.2 inches).
- In the Number of Terminals field, enter the number of terminals on the block for which the label is intended. This field is not available if you selected Serialize. In that case the sequence values determine how many labels to create.
- When No Feed is selected, you can manually enter data for more blocks after serialized data has been printer.
When finished printing, the printer will not feed the labels, so you can enter data for more blocks. When done entering data, press the FEED key in order to position the label at the cut position.
- From the Separator list, select None, Line, or Tic to mark the division between labels.
- In the Orientation list, select either Vertical or Horizontal.
- When finished, navigate to OK and press Enter.
- If the Serialize option box is checked, the settings screen for sequences displays.
- Set up the sequence or sequences.
- Navigate to OK and press Enter. The number of terminal blocks are created as labels with the serialization characters displayed on each label.
- If serialization was not used, the editor opens on Label 1. Enter data for each label.
- Press PREVIEW to view the labels before printing.
- Press Print.
