Terminal Block Labels
Note: See
DataComm & T-Block Menu Selections for a list of the high-level DataComm
& T-Block Menu selections, their default values, and the corresponding softkeys.
This example outlines the functionality required to create a Terminal Block label using the
DataComm & T-Block menu. This example also assumes use of a dedicated terminal block part in
one of the following widths: .24", .318", and .375". There are a maximum of 12 individual zones
allowed for Terminal Block labels, with a limit on the number of characters per zone when numerous
zones are being created.
To create a Terminal Block label:
Step 1. Insert a dedicated part (XC-240-498, XC-318-498, or XC-375-498). The printer reads the
smart-cell settings and automatically displays the screen allowing you to choose between
the General ID Menu and DataComm & T-Block Menu. Upon selecting the DataComm
& T-Block Menu, the following datacomm menu options appear above the softkeys:
P-PNL, T-BLK, DESI, 110BLK, 66BLK, BIX.
Note: To escape to the General ID Menu screen press
FUNCTION + CLEAR/ESC.
Step 2. Press the T-BLK softkey. The default terminal block information automatically appears on
the display as shown below (in inches or millimeters, depending on your settings*):
*See
Setting Units on page 36 for instruction on setting
units to inches or millimeters.
Step 3. To set or accept the length, do one of the following:
• Press the
ENTER key to accept the default, or
• Press the
LEN softkey, enter a new length, and press ENTER.
Note: From this point, similar functionality is used as when working with Patch Panels.
