Start
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.
We wish you successful work with the printer.

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 efficiency.
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 five “3mm 100%” characters are printed in the half cutting.
(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.)
A wide variety of options provide excellent additional capability
The functionality of the printer can be expanded by installing a wide variety of options, including: the “Tube Warmer”, which facilitates printing in cold (5°C) environments; the “Tube Feeder”, which permits stable and precise
printing on tube that is fed from a reel.
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 file saving capabilities that are hard to imagine in such a light-weight machine.
