1.8 Printing the Custom Faceplate for the TD device
Printing the Custom Faceplate for the TD Device
The TD 100C and the TD 200C ship with one blank faceplate (envelope-size) for printing the
faceplate. The faceplate is constructed from durable, polyester material which has been
designed especially for use on HMI faceplates.
The TD400C does not include a blank faceplate. You can either order blank faceplates, or
use the Keypad Designer to print a TD400C custom faceplate on A4 paper and take it to a
local supplier to make a custom TD400C faceplate.
● You can print a single faceplate directly from the Keypad Designer on the envelope-sized
blank faceplate.
● To print multiple faceplates, you can use the Microsoft Word template (provided in the
Templates subdirectory) that ensures your faceplate design is properly sized. You can
print multiple faceplates onto the perforated A4-size blank faceplate sheets.
Refer to Chapter 3 for specific information about printing the custom faceplate for your TD
device.
Tip:
The faceplate material is specially treated on one side to accommodate printing with a laser
printer. The treated surface is up (or toward you) when you are holding the material with the
cut corner in the top right of the sheet.
Ensure that the material is correctly inserted into the laser printer so that the faceplate prints
the reversed image onto the treated surface of the material. You must print a reversed-image
version of the faceplate onto the faceplate material.
Before printing your custom faceplate onto the blank faceplate sheet, first test your design by
printing the faceplate onto regular paper. You can then temporarily use the paper faceplate
to test the functionality of the design with your TD device.
Printer Requirements
To print your custom-designed image onto the blank faceplate material, you must use a laser
printer that supports the following features:
● Paper size: The laser printer must be able to print on both the A4 (210 mm X 297 mm)
and envelope formats.
● Color: The laser printer must support color printing.
● Transparencies: The laser printer must support the printing of transparencies (or other
non-paper stock)
Ordering Additional Faceplate Material
You can order additional blank faceplates for the TD 100C, TD 200C, and TD400C device in
perforated A4-size sheets (10 sheets/package). The faceplate material is especially
designed for printing on a laser printer. The blank faceplate sheets also allow you to utilize
the services of professional printing vendors that specialize in laser printing in order to create
large quantities of high-quality faceplates.
