Making Wire Wrap Labels

The following example shows how to wire wrap labels used for labeling wires and cables.

Self-laminating wire wraps are used for marking wires and cables that have already been terminated. Insert a wire wrap cartridge into your K5100 for this example.

In this example we are keeping Auto Size ON.

To start a new label (file), press the FILE key and select NEW with the ENTER key. Or you can use SHIFT-FILE as a short cut.

The K5100 will detect that a wire wrap cartridge is installed and the above procedure will activate the automatic rotation feature. Rotation is necessary because the printable area of a wire wrap is vertical and represents a small portion of the label.

Type the following text: "300E".

Press the PRINT Key then FEED and you'll have a wire wrap ready to apply.

Apply the printed portion of the label to the wire and wrap the laminated tail around the wire. The clear laminated tail will wrap over the printing to protect it.
