Brother P-Touch E850TKW User Manual

You can create various types of cable labels by selecting “Cable Label” in the
Home screen using the P-touch keyboard LCD unit or connecting your
P-touch to a computer and using Cable Label Tool.
The available cable label types are as follows:
Faceplate
Labels of this type can be used to identify various faceplates. Blocks of text
are evenly spaced on a single label.
Cable Wrap
Labels of this type can be wrapped around a cable or wire. The text is rotated
90° counterclockwise and printed.
Cable Flag
Labels of this type can be wrapped around a cable or wire, and both ends of
the label stick together to form a flag. The text on flag labels is printed on both
ends of the label, leaving a blank space in the middle that wraps around the
cable.
Patch Panel
Labels of this type can be used to identify various types of panels.
Punch-Down Block
Labels of this type can be used to identify a type of electrical connection often
used in telephony. You can enter up to eight lines for each block on a single
label.
Die-cut Flag
Labels of this type can be printed on special die-cut flag labels to create flag
labels for cables and wires. Use the FLe label cassettes for this type.
Inverted Label (only when using the P-touch keyboard)
Labels of this type can be printed with the text and background colours
reversed without changing the tape cassette. In addition, you can create
labels with a small label height by setting “Orientation” to “Vertical”.
PVC Tube
Tubes of this type can be used to identify or insulate cables, or to protect them
from heat.
Heat Shrink Tube (only when connecting to a computer)
Tubes of this type shrink by heat to fit a cable. Use the HSe tube cassettes
for this type.
