Patch Panel Label
The Patch Panel editor allows you to quickly create a label that can be applied to
datacom and electrical panels. Each label can contain up to 99 ports and you can
divide the ports into equal groups.
One text object is already added for each port. Barcodes and images cannot be
added to a Patch Panel label.
Text size and style apply to all ports on the label and to all labels in the file. When
Auto fit text is selected for font size, the text in each port is automatically resized
to fit that port. So you may see differences in text size for each port.
Use serialization to automatically populate the ports. When all the ports are filled
on the current label, a new label is created. See Creating a Series of Labels on
page 29.
Patch panel labels can be printed on any type of continuous labels.
