Horizontal Breaker Labels

The horizontal breaker label is one of two types of labels for use on a breaker panel. See Vertical Breaker Label.

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

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

Use Serialize to automatically populate the breakers.

Horizontal breaker labels can be printed on any type of XTL continuous labels.

The label properties you can set are:

Number of breakers Maximum: 99 breakers
Single breaker width Minimum: 1/4" (6.35 mm)
Maximum: 5" (127 mm)
Multiplier

Multiplier for each breaker. Maximum: 4

Can be manually entered in 0.5 increments, such as 2.5, 3.5 and so on.

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 breaker. (Default)

Match leader and trailer length

When selected, an equal amount of blank space is added at the beginning and end of the label. (Default)

When not selected, blank space is added only at the beginning of the label.
