Discuss Help labelling Consumer Unit with Brother Ptouch E110 label printer in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I am fed up with shoddy labelling using stickers with the CU so bought a Brother P touch E110 label printer
It has a Faceplate option which appeared to be ideal.
I set it for faceplate width up to 300 mm and the enter the text but cannot see how to get spaced out sections.
the model up has the option to specify text sections and their width according to YouTube
The Brother support team suggest that choose faceplate and enter text and the printer spaces it out.
Anyone have any idea how to achieve spacing for MCBs in a CU
Thanks
 
I have Rhino labeller, believe they are all pretty much the same. I gave trying to use the interface on the labeller itself. Used the supplied software on my laptop, and printed off CU’s from the laptop to labeller. Much easier to understand and use.
 
I use a 550 brother, and the mobile app

If you use the patch panel option

Then select the option for consumer units, there is a wide selection of templates for rcd/non rcd boards, of various ways, and positions:

If you use long text in each space it automatically adjusts to multiple lines etc to fit into the width of the slot.

The app is free, so download it and see if it supports your labeler
