A Vital Tool for Electrical Facilities

Introducing the Mk2600

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

printer is used to print such labels and tube.

Tube

Easy yet high-quality printing

Printing tube

The Mk2600 can print tube that identify cables: “AB01” or “+20V”, for example. Because the tube that is used is available commercially, the Mk2600 provides an economical solution. The Mk2600 can also be used to print on heat shrink tube.

Label

Labeled with switch name or number

Label switches clearly

Printing labels

The Mk2600 can also be used to print label tape (sold separately). Because labels

that correspond to specic

cable tube labels can be printed and applied to the corresponding devices, using such labels results in

improved efciency.

Clear laminate seal

Label with clear adhesive lamination

Wrap around tape with printable and laminating layers

When applied after printing, the printing is covered by

plastic laminating lm,

protecting the characters from scratching. Adheres to cables after they have been connected.

Main Features

 Compactandeasytocarry

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 efciency.

Fast printing

When printing at fast speed, the printer can easily print 42 tube segments per minute.*

* When a tube is cut into to 20mm segments and ve “3mm 100%” characters are printed in the half

cutting mode. (This feature is available only for printing on tube.)

 Supportsavarietyofprintingmedia

The printer can print on tube, label tape, heat shrink tube, wrap around tape, plate and 4mm I.D. strip.

(To print on other than commercially available tube and plate, a special cassette is needed.)

Legibleprintingevenincoolenvironments

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

Includes a variety of standard features such as adjustable character size, spacing and margins, and le

saving capabilities that are hard to imagine in such a light-weight machine.
