Print Labels Using Built-In Software

• Print a single label on demand.
• Print one label at a time as cables are tested.
• Print a batch of labels for use at a later time.
• Automatically print serial numbers on each label.

For each cable, label text is stored in the database along with wirelist, schematic, and descriptive notes, and may be loaded at any time.

Keep a dedicated label printer connected to the extra serial port on your PC while your network printer or parallel port printer is used strickly for documentation or log reports on a laser or inkjet printer.

The example below shows self-laminating labels printed three across on tractor-feed label stock. The size, spacing, and number of labels is easily adjusted. A thermal printer may be used also if desired.

When you use an automatic test sequence to test, the "COUNT" variable, which tracks the number of cycles in a test procedure, may be placed within the label text to generate serialized labels at the time of printing. For example, if the label text is:

the value of the COUNT variable is inserted into the text at the time of printing. If the COUNT variable were "15" initially, the following sequence would be produced:
