Abstract
A method including providing a first image on a label printer user interface, wherein said first image is representative of at least one of at least one label to be printed and at least one object to which a label is to be applied; and providing a second image on said user interface associated with the first image, the second image representative of a dimension of the first image; enabling a user to modify a dimension of the second image; wherein as the dimension of the second image is modified, the dimension of the first image is correspondingly updated.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- providing a first image on a label printer user interface, wherein said first image is representative of at least one label to be printed;
- providing a second image on the label printer user interface, wherein said second image is representative of at least one object to which said label is to be applied;
- providing a third image on said label printer user interface associated with at least one of said first image and said second image, wherein said third image is representative of a dimension of at least one of said first image and said second image;
- and,
- enabling a user to modify a configuration of at least one of said at least one label to be printed and said object to which said label is to be applied;
- wherein, in response to said modification of said configuration, at least one of said first image, said second image, and said third image is correspondingly updated;
- wherein said at least one object comprises one of a group including a pipe, a cable, a breaker, a patch panel, a distribution panel, a terminal block, and a 110-block.

An apparatus comprising a controller configured:
- to output, to a display driver, data for causing the display driver to drive a display to display a first image on a label printer user interface, wherein said first image is representative of at least one label to be printed;
- to display a second image of at least one object to which said label is to be applied;
- and,
- to display a third image on said user interface associated with at least one of said first image and said second image, wherein said third image is representative of a dimension of at least one of said first image and said second image;
- said controller being configured to enable a user to modify a configuration of at least one of said at least one label to be printed and said object to which said label is to be applied;
- wherein, in response to said modification of said configuration, said controller is configured to cause at least one of said first image, said second image, and said third image to be correspondingly updated;
- wherein said at least one object comprises one of a group including a pipe, a cable, a breaker, a patch panel, a distribution panel, a terminal block, and a 110-block.
4 more elements
A method comprising:
- providing a first image on a label printer user interface, wherein said first image is representative of at least one label to be printed;
- providing a second image on the label printer user interface, wherein said second image is representative of at least one object to which said label is to be applied;
- providing a third image on said user interface associated with at least one of said first image and said second image, said third image representative of a dimension of at least one of said first image and said second image;
- enabling a user to modify a configuration of at least one of said at least one label to be printed and said object to which said label is to be applied;
- wherein, in response to said modification of said configuration, at least one of said first image, said second image and said third image is correspondingly updated;
- wherein said enabling a user to modify a configuration of at least one of said at least one label to be printed and said object to which said label is to be applied comprises providing options to a user;
- wherein said options comprise one or more properties of said at least one object;
- and
- wherein said at least one object comprises a vertical or horizontal breaker, and said at least one property comprises a number of poles.
