There are three options in the Selected Label menu: Edit, Add, and
Delete.
Edit: Pressing this button will bring up a sub-menu. There are six boxes, and each one repre-
sents a piece of text that will go on the label.

than will fit on the label loaded. Example: TAGH73-336 can fit 3 lines of text. If 4 or more
UPDATING THE LABEL LIST
The Label List is a database file (
spirit.lls
) that contains all
the measurements and other important information about
every label that the Spirit
™
2100 needs to know before it
can print. With this file installed inside the Spirit
™
2100, you
will be able to quickly change between various label sizes
and materials. Because there are always new labels being
added to our product line as well as the creation of custom
labels, you have the ability to upload a modified Label List
from us into the memory of the Spirit
™
2100
. This will keep
your Spirit
™
2100
as current as possible for all your printing
needs.
The Label List file MUST be stored in a specific location created
with the SpiritLINK software installation before any upload can be
done. The default directory on your hard drive (unless you chose
another during installation) is
C:\Program
Files\HellermannTyton\Spirit_2100
. While you do not edit the
Label List yourself, you can upload a new or modified list to your
Spirit
™
2100
printer by pressing the Store Label List In Printer button.
