This example outlines the functionality required to create a Patch Panel using the DataComm
& T-Block menu. It assumes use of a dedicated Patch Panel part, either ½" or

" in width.
To create a Patch Panel label:
Step 1.
Insert a dedicated part (XC-375-422, XC-500-422, or continuous B412 parts in .375" and
.5" widths). The printer reads the smart-cell settings and automatically displays the screen
allowing you to choose between the General ID Menu and DataComm & T-Block Menu.
Upon selecting the DataComm & T-Block Menu, the following datacomm menu options
appear above the softkeys:
P-PNL, T-BLK, DESI, 110BLK, 66BLK, BIX.
