7.7 Using the software
Double-click to open the software.
First, select the printer. Select "RF-HSP-500 printer".
Select the size of the heat shrink tubing that you want to print on.
Now you can use the software to edit the data (text, graphics, barcodes, etc.).
Example
In this example we want to print on heat shrink tubing with diameter of 10 mm (17 mm flat) over
a length of 50 mm.
Select the labelling length (50 mm)
To enter text, click on the "A" and then go into the writing area below. Then you can enter
the text required.
The text can be changed to the required size or moved to another position by dragging
the corners.
Then, press the "Print" icon to print your text onto the heat shrink
tubing.
The print dialogue will appear. Press "OK" to go ahead with print-
ing on the heat shrink tubing.
In this example, "Half cut(H)" is selected in settings, which means that the heat shrink tub-
ing will be partly cut. This makes it easier to detach.
