Special Functions
The P
ANTHER™ LS8EQ has several special functions that may be accessed by
pressing the F keys at the top of the keypad. The special functions are listed in a
menu that appears when pressing F1. The entire list of special functions includes:
•
F1 – Display or Exit the Special Function (F Key) Menu
• F2 – Store and Recall User Profiles
o There are two user profiles available for storing your favorite settings for
text font size, label rotation, and label mode. Recalling a user profile
saves set up time and increases productivity.
• F3 – Display Label Cassette Information
o Pressing F3 will display the part number, serial number, and quantity of
labels remaining on the cassette. This information is also displayed
automatically when turning the printer on.
• F4 – Market and Application Based Label Wizard
o This wizard provides a unique, time saving method to generate labels
more quickly. It includes market specific application tools for wire/cable
marking, terminal block labeling, network component labeling, and pipe
marking.
o This wizard assists in choosing the required label cassette part number for
each application.
o This wizard introduces new label legend creation tools, including a text
table format and TIA compliance guide. See page 58 for a labeling
example using this wizard.
• F5 – DIN Mode for European Terminal Blocks
o DIN terminal block labeling is based on European standards and is
primarily used in European countries. For detailed instructions on using
the DIN mode, refer to the Labeling Exercises section of this manual.
• F6 – Quick Key for Wire Marking
o This function quickly adjusts the LS8EQ printer settings, including mode,
font size, and rotation, for wire and cable marking applications. This
function is intended for wire and cable marking with continuous cloth tape,
such as P1™ label cassette part number T100X000CBC-BK. Using
continuous cloth tape for wire and cable marking allows you to select the
exact size of marker that best meets your requirements.
o The LS8EQ also prints self-laminating wire and cable markers with pre-
defined lengths. Self-laminating labels include a clear, protective layer for
enhanced durability.
• F7 – Print Preview
o The print preview function enhances your label design with a more
realistic, What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG), view of symbols,
bar codes, and more. From within print preview you can navigate around
a single label or between multiple labels and even zoom in to enlarge your
design before printing.
