Terminal Block Labels

Terminal block labels are created by specifying the orientation (portrait or landscape), the number of blocks, and the block height.

One text box is automatically added for each block. Additional text boxes, barcodes, images, and shapes cannot be added to terminal block 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 port. So you may see differences in text size in each block.

Use Serialize to automatically populate the blocks.

Terminal block labels can be printed on any type of XTL continuous labels.

The properties you can set are:

Orientation

Landscape

Portrait (Default)

  • Changing the label orientation removes any content on the label, creating a new blank label
Number of blocks Maximum: 99 blocks
Block height

Minimum: 5/32" (4 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 block. (Default)

Match leader and trailer length

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

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