This section discusses making legend lists with the TLS2200 printer.
What Is A Legend List?
A legend list consists of one or more legends stored under a list name. The storage capability
of the TLS2200
™
allows you to create, select, print, and edit legend lists.
It is recommended that you review the following terminology before you start working with
legend lists:
Term Definition
The actual text to be printed on a marker. The legend
appears on the Text Editor screen and can be stored in
memory.

One or more legends stored under a list name.
Legend List—
A list becomes active when you create or select it. See

Active Legend List—
A legend is recalled when you press <Func> + <Recall>
or <Func> + <Shift> + <Recall> from within an active

General Guidelines for Legend Lists.
Use the following guidelines for legend lists:
• Legends for legend lists are created following the same guidelines as non-list legends.
• All style features accessible through the Setup Menu are available when creating legends
for lists.
• Individual legends within legend lists can have different styles.
• You cannot save serialized legends to a list.
• The maximum number of legends you can save to a list will vary depending on how much
memory the legends in your list use. The amount of memory used by a legend is
dependent on certain variables such as the number of lines in the legend and the number
of characters per line. For example, if your list contains legends that all have five lines
and eight characters per line, you could save approximately 800 total legends to memory.
If your list contains legends that all have one line and eight characters per line, you could
save over 2,700 total legends to memory.
• A maximum of 10 legend lists can be stored in the printer at any one time.
