Labeling keys
You can label the keys of the KP12 based on the project. Use the labeling strip for this
purpose.
You will find templates for the labeling strips on the Internet: Label template for Extension
Units (

Procedure
1.
Edit the template.
2.
Print the template.
You can use printable foils. Always ensure an adequate material stiffness during the
selection. This is needed to insert the labeling strips. The maximum permitted thickness
of the labeling strip is 0.15 mm.
Note
Wait for the printed labeling strips to dry before you insert them.
3.
Cut out the labeling strip.
Ensure that the corners are cut according to the corresponding diagram, as this makes it
easier to slide them into the slot.
4.
Remove any previously existing labeling strips.
5.
Slide the new labeling strips into the guide up to the stop. You can make it easier to push
them in if you briefly press any blocking key.
The labeling strip will protrude approximately 1 cm out of the guide. The template
dimensions for the labeling strips are designed so that the labeling is correctly placed for
the keys. An interlock is not required for the labeling strips.
