Creating Legends
Using the <Enter> Key When Composing a Legend
It is not necessary to press the <Enter> key aIter entering the last line oI text in your legend.
Pressing the <Enter> key instructs the printer to reserve space Ior a new line oI text (notice
the cursor advances to the next line). Even iI characters are not entered on this new line. the
printer assumes the blank line is valid. As a result. markers are printed with the blank line.
which leads to uncentered legends.
When the <Enter> key is pressed at the end oI a line. a non-visible end-oI-line character is
inserted at the cursor. Characters entered aIter the cursor Iall to the next line. This end-oI-line
character can be deleted by positioning the cursor over the Iirst character position on the
Iollowing line and pressing the <Shift> <DeIete> keys. This deletes the carriage return.
moves up the text located on the second line. and appends the text on the Iirst line. Any
remaining lines oI text also move up one line.
Note: The <Shift> <DeIete> command deletes the carriage return and appends text
to the previous line only iI all characters on the current line Iit on the previous line. II
the text can not Iit. the carriage return is not deleted and all text remains on the current line.
DefauIt Font Size
The TLS2200
70
printer allows you to choose the Iont size Ior each individual line oI text on
your label (one size per line). The Iont size is always displayed on the status bar located on the
Iirst line oI the LCD.
When a marker roll is loaded and the unit is turned on. the TLS2200 printer reads the marker
size inIormation stored in the smart-cell on the marker roll core. This inIormation is used to
automatically set an initial Iont size Ior your label. The method used to set this deIault is
intended to help approximate an optimal starting point Ior sizing your text. It is as Iollows:
Marker Width Default Font Size
12.7 mm (0.5 in.) Largest size that allows Iour characters to Iit on a label line
J 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) Largest size that allows eight characters to Iit on a label line
Note: Eor continuous printed labels (banners). the deIault Iont size is the largest Iont
that prints on the selected marker width in horizontal orientation.
Once the Iont is set Ior a label line. the size remains the same Ior any new lines that Iollow
(example. Iont size set at 8 Ior line one. press <Enter> to add line two. Iont size remains at
size 8). The Iont size remains at the size you choose until you decide to change it.
TLS2200
%
Changing the Font Size
At any time during the text entry or editing process. you can change the Iont size Ior the label
line displayed on the text editor screen. This can be done on a line-by-line basis only. To
change the Iont size Ior a given line. simply press <Shift> + <! !! !> or <Shift> + <" "" ">
respectively to increase or decrease the Iont size.
Selectable Iont sizes range Irom 1 (4 point) to 19 (72 point). The maximum Iont size selectable
Ior a particular label line depends on several Iactors including marker size. number oI
characters oI text entered on the label line. number oI lines oI text entered on the label. and the
Iont sizes chosen Ior the other label lines.
II at any time you attempt to enter too many characters on a label line. the message 'Reduce
Type Size Ilashes on the display. To allow more characters to Iit on the line. press <Shift> +
<" "" "> to decrease the Iont size.
Text already entered on a line can be switched Irom text to barcode mode and vice versa. II the
size oI the barcode. or text being switched to. does not Iit on the marker. you encounter the
message 'Reduce Type Size when you attempt to print the label. You must scroll to the line
where the switch was made. reduce the size oI the Iont (iI text) or bar height (iI a barcode). and
print again.
II you press the <Enter> key and it no longer moves the cursor down to another line. you have
attempted to enter more lines on the label than can Iit. To add more lines. press <Shift> + <" "" ">
to decrease the Iont size oI the existing lines.

Advanced Features
Eeatures outlined in this section pertain to advanced user options. You will Iind instructions Ior
generating serialized. legend list. terminal block. and barcode labels.
SeriaIized LabeIs
This section discusses making serialized labels with the TLS2200
70
printer.
SeriaIization
Legends you create with the TLS2200 printer can be serialized both numerically and
alphabetically. Serializing characters in a legend results in a series oI markers that increment
by one number and/or one letter.
The TLS2200 printer allows you to create two diIIerent types oI serialization patterns:
Pattern Description
Standard DeIaults serial number scheme to decimal (0-9) or alpha (A-Z. a-z) based on
character type entered.
Octal DeIaults the serial number scheme to octal (Base 8) 0-7 numeric
serialization.
Your serialization type deIaults to either standard or octal based on the selection you choose
Irom the Setup Menu. For instructions on how to set the serial default. refer to The Setup
Menu section beginning on page 23.
To create labels containing serialized data. Iollow the instructions below:
1. Enter the text to be serialized on the appropriate legend line.
2. Use the < > key to position the cursor over the last character in the legend to be
serialized.
3. Press <Func> <SeriaI> on the keypad. The screen prompts you to enter the number oI
times to increment the serial number with 'No. to Serial?.
4. Enter the number oI times to increment the serial number and press <Enter>. The screen
prompts you to enter the number oI copies oI each number to print with 'No. oI Copies?
5. Enter the number oI copies to print and press either <Enter> or <Print>. Your serialized
markers are printed.
GeneraI GuideIines for SeriaIizing
Use the Iollowing guidelines Ior serializing:
N Both lowercase and uppercase characters can be serialized.
N Serialized characters can be incremented only (cannot decrement).
N You can choose only one serial type per label (standard or octal).
36 TLS2200
%
N Serialized text is limited to one line and one sequence per label.
N The printer Iirst serializes the character the cursor is highlighted on when the <Func>
<SeriaI> keys are pressed. When this character reaches its maximum value (9. z. or Z iI
standard. 7 iI octal). the character immediately to the leIt is incremented. and the right
most character cycles back to its minimum value (0. a. or A iI standard. 0 iI octal).
N Once a serialized character has reached its maximum value and the next character
encountered to the leIt is a non-serializable character (such as a space. accented character.
or symbol). the serial pattern cycles back to begin incrementing again Irom the rightmost
serialized character.
N AIter printing a series oI serial characters. the editor displays the next logical character in
the serial pattern (example: Print 1 to 5. AIter print iob is completed. editor displays 6).

Legend Lists
This section discusses making legend lists with the TLS2200
70
printer.
What Is A Legend List?
A legend list consists oI one or more legends stored under a list name. The storage capability
oI the TLS2200
70
allows you to create. select. print. and edit legend lists.
It is recommended that you review the Iollowing terminology beIore you start working with
legend lists:
Term Definition
Legend The actual text to be printed on a marker. The legend
appears on the Text Editor screen and can be stored in
memory.
Legend List One or more legends stored under a list name.
Active Legend List A list becomes active when you create or select it. See
Creating a New List and Selecting a List later in this section.
A list that has been activated is ready to be printed or edited.
RecaIIed Legend A legend is recalled when you press <Func>+<Recall> or
<Func>+<Shift>+<Recall> Irom within an active legend
list. See Editing a List later in this section. A legend that has
been recalled is ready to be edited.
GeneraI GuideIines for Legend Lists.
Use the Iollowing guidelines Ior legend lists:
N Legends Ior legend lists are created Iollowing the same guidelines as non-list legends.
N All style Ieatures accessible through the Setup Menu are available when creating legends
Ior lists.
N Individual legends within legend lists can have diIIerent styles.
N You cannot save serialized legends to a list.
N The maximum number oI legends you can save to a list will vary depending on how much
memory the legends in your list use. The amount oI memory used by a legend is
dependent on certain variables such as the number oI lines in the legend and the number
oI characters per line. Eor example. iI your list contains legends that all have Iive lines
and eight characters per line. you could save approximately 800 total legends to memory.
II your list contains legends that all have one line and eight characters per line. you could
save over 2.700 total legends to memory.
N A maximum oI 10 legend lists can be stored in the printer at any one time.

Editing a List
Editing a list involves deleting legends Irom a list and changing characters in a legend already
in a saved list.
There are two ways to edit an active list:
1. II you have the correct part (the part the list was originally created Ior) installed in the
printer. you can recall legends Irom the active list and then edit them the same way you
would edit a non-list legend.
2. II you do not have the correct part (or do not have any part) installed in the printer. you
can still edit a list through Edit mode. Edit mode is explained later in this section.
To edit a list:
1. Select the list that you want to edit. ReIer to Selecting a List earlier in this section Ior
instructions.
You cannot select a list unless the correct part (the part the list was created Ior) is loaded in the
printer. II you try to select a list without the correct part loaded in the printer. or no part is
loaded in the printer. this error message will display on the Text Editor screen:

Barcode LabeIs
This section discusses making barcode labels with the TLS2200
70
printer.
Creating Barcode LabeIs
The TLS2200 printer allows you to create Code 39 barcodes Ior your labels. Legends made
utilizing the bar-coding Ieature can consist oI a single barcode. several barcodes. or barcodes
together with text.
Setting Barcode Options
When adding a barcode to your label. several options can be accessed to customize how your
barcode(s) are Iormatted and printed. Options available are as Iollows:
Legend Type: This setting is used to select the Legend Entry Mode. Pressing the
<Barcode> key allows you to toggle between Text and Barcode. When set to Barcode
mode. all text entered on the line/label print as a Code 39 barcode. The Status Bar (Iirst
line on the LCD) displays a B to indicate you are in Barcode mode.
Bar Height: This setting can be accessed Irom the Barcode submenu on the Setup Menu.
This option allows you to set the height oI your Code 39 barcode(s). Heights range Irom 1
to 26 millimeters and can be increased/decreased in 1-millimeter increments.
Human Readable: This setting is also accessed Irom the Barcode submenu on the Setup
Menu. This option allows you to determine whether your barcode(s) are printed together
with human readable text (toggles on and oII). Barcode human readable text print at a
Iont size oI 2 (5 point) up to 9 (14 point).
Rotation: This option. located on the Setup sub-menu named Stvle. allows you to set the
rotation oI your barcode(s) in one oI Iour orientations (0(. 90(. 180(. 270(). This allows
you to create both picket Ience and ladder style barcodes. Please note. however. that all
lines on the legend (text and/or barcode) print at the rotation selected. Lines cannot be
rotated independently.
Code 39 Barcode SymboIogy
The barcode symbology used by the TLS2200 printer is Code 39. The character set Ior this
symbology consists oI the Iollowing characters:
The capital letters: A to Z
