Distribution Panel Labels

Distribution panel labels are created by specifying the number of connectors and the center to center distance between each connector.

One text box is automatically added for each connector. Additional text boxes, barcodes, images, and shapes cannot be added to distribution panel labels.

Formatting applies to all the text boxes on the label. When Auto fit text is selected, the text in each block is automatically sized to fit that connector. So you may see differences in text size in each connector.

Use Serialize to automatically populate the connectors.

Distribution panel labels can be printed on any type of XTL continuous labels.

The properties you can set are:

Number of connectors Maximum: 99 connectors
Center to center distance

Distance from the center of one connector to the center of the next connector.

Minimum: 5/32" (3.8 mm)
Maximum: 20" (508 mm)

Show label outline

When selected, an outline is added around the outside of the label content.

Default is no label outline.
Separator lines

When selected, prints a separator line between each connector. (Default)
