Introduction The Dymo ILP219 helps you mark and identify cables, wires, patch panels and components around your plant. The ILP219 can print your information to suit the environment you work in: thermally printed tape can be wrapped around cables, flagged around wires or applied onto different surfaces. The information can be spaced along a label to fit a row of switches ,fuses or patch panels. It can create bar codes, print graphics, and display text in a variety of formats.

FLAG LABELS With flag labels, the unprinted part of the tape is wrapped around your wire or cable, and the tape is folded back on itself to form a flag. The flag is therefore as long as the text. The information is automatically printed on both sides of this ‘flag’ part of the tape, so that it is clearly legible from almost any angle.

PART II : Software Manual Card Loader Software Getting Started This manual describes how to use the DYMO ILP219 Card Loader software to create and download files that contain libraries of labels and graphics for use with the DYMO ILP219 industrial label printer. Overview The DYMO ILP219 Card Loader software provides an easy method for creating sets of labels and graphics which can then be downloaded to the DYMO ILP219 industrial label printer.
Registering the Software The first time you start the ILP219 Card Loader application, you will be asked to register the software. We highly recommend that you register your ILP219 Card Loader software so that you can receive customer support, information on product updates, and special announcements from DYMO. If you choose not to register the software at this time, you will be prompted the next three times you start the program. You can register the software at any time as described below.
The As Lines view shows each line of the label in a separate column. This allows you to select a column of data and perform a global action, such as deleting a line of text or applying a barcode. Groups View The Groups view displays the contents of your label set in a tree view displaying your labels organized by groups. You can have up to 32 groups within a label set. The number of labels that you can create in each label set is limited only by the amount of memory available on the memory card.
Menus and Commands This section summarizes the commands available to you. For more detailed information about a particular command, refer to the Help. File Menu The following commands are available from the File menu. Toolbar Icon Menu Command Description New Label Set Closes the current label set, prompting you to save the set if necessary, and opens a new, unnamed label set. Open Displays the Open File dialog box to select a label set to open.
Edit Menu The following commands are available from the Edit menu Toolbar Icon View Menu Undoes the last action. Cut Cuts the selection to the clipboard. Copy Copies the selection to the clipboard. Paste If the clipboard contains text, pastes the clipboard contents onto the current label. If the clipboard contains a graphic, pastes the image into the graphics list. Delete Deletes the currently selected label, group, or image.
Creating Labels The ILP219 Card Loader software allows you to create and group labels that you can download to the memory card in an ILP219 label printer. You can then print the labels contained on the memory card any number of times and in any combination. You can also choose add one or two of the images included in the label set to your labels. This chapter gives you an overview of creating labels with ILP219 Card Loader software. For more information on any of these features, refer to the Help.
Adding Label Text You add text to labels in the label set using the Labels view. Labels can contain up to four lines of text. If you are going to add a barcode then the labels are limited to two lines. See Appendix A for a list of supported characters. To create a label 1. Start the ILP219 Card Loader program. The main window appears in the Labels view. 2. Type up to four lines of text in one of the label rows for each label you wish to create.
About Barcodes You can choose to add a barcode to your label. This feature can be very useful, for example, if you are labeling items that will be scanned with a barcode reader. When you add a barcode to your label, the label is limited to two lines instead of four. In As Labels mode, clicking Apply Barcode when you have more than one label selected applies a barcode to the first line of each selected label.
To insert a barcode to an individual line of text 1. Select the Labels tab. 2. Select As Lines or As Labels under View Mode. 3. Select a line of text to which you wish to apply a barcode. 4. Select Apply Barcode. The Insert Barcode dialog box appears. 5. Select the type of barcode from the Barcode type drop-down list. 6. Click OK. The font is changed to bold and underline to indicate that it will print as a barcode on the label.
Renaming Groups Group names are limited to 12 alphanumeric characters and can contain spaces. To rename a group 1. Select the Groups tab. 2. Select the group you wish to rename. 3. Select Rename Group from the File menu. You can also right-click on the group name and select Rename Group. 4. Enter the new name for the group. Moving Labels within Groups If you do not have a specific group selected when you add a new label, the label is added to the *UNASSIGNED* group.
If you wish to rotate the image, you must do so at this point prior to actually inserting the image in the label set. This is because images are resized for optimal height as they are imported. Rotating an image after it is imported would impact the image quality. 4. Click one of the following: • to rotate the image 90 degrees to the left. • to rotate the image 90 degrees to the right. 5. Click Open. The image you selected appears in the Graphics view with the same name as the source file.
Downloading the Label Set When your label set is complete, you can download it to a memory card in an ILP219 printer attached to your computer. The label set can be downloaded as many times as you wish to different memory cards allowing several people to use the same label information on their individual label printers. To download the label set 1. Save the label set using the Save command on the File menu. 2. Click or select Download from the File menu.
For example, the following lines of text (if List Separator in Regional Settings is set to comma): DYMO Corp., 44 Commerce Road, “Stamford, CT 06902” Esselte, 48 South Service Road,”Melville, NY 11471” will create two three-line labels: one for DYMO and one for Esselte. In another example, the following three lines of text will create three two-line labels (if List Separator in Regional Settings is set to comma): Pencils, 3 for $1.00 Pens, $0.50 each Erasers, $1.
