A Vital Tool for Electrical Facilities
Introducing the Mk1500
When you open a power distribution panel, you are confronted with an array of tightly packed terminals, circuit
breakers, and switches, and these myriad devices are connected by a maze of cables. If each device and cable
is not clearly labeled with a symbol or a number, maintenance can become a nightmare. In such electrical
facilities, it is common practice to use printed tube to identify cables and printed labels to identify switches.
The Mk1500 is used to print such labels and tube.
Clear
laminate seal
Tube
Labeled with switch
name or number
Easy yet high-quality
printing
Printing tube
The Mk1500 can print
tube that identify cables:
“AB-01” or “+20V”, for
example. Because the tube
that is used is available
commercially, the Mk1500
provides an economical
solution. The Mk1500 can
also be used to print on heat
shrink tube and 4mm I.D.
strip.
Label switches clearly
Printing labels
The Mk1500 can also be
used to print label tape (sold
separately). Because labels
that correspond to specifi c
cable tube labels can be
printed and applied to the
corresponding devices,
using such labels results in
improved effi ciency.
Label with clear adhesive
lamination
Wrap-around tape
with printable and
laminating layers
When applied after printing,
the printing is covered by
plastic laminating fi lm,
protecting the characters
from scratching.
Adheres to cables after they
have been connected.
Main Features

1
In addition to being compact at 250 mm (W) x 300 mm (D) x 85 mm (H), the printer also has a
lightweight design (2kg), making it easy to transport to the site of electrical facilities. Overall, the
printer greatly increases work effi ciency.
Supports a variety of printing media
2
The printer can print on commercially available tube, label tape, heat shrink tube, wrap around tape, and
4mm I.D. strip.
Legible printing even in cool environments
3
Install the optional Tube Warmer to print legibly in environments as cool as 5°C.
Many functions not normally found in a hand-portable machine
4
Includes a variety of standard features such as adjustable character size, spacing and margins, and fi le
saving capabilities that are hard to imagine in such a light-weight machine.
