The P-touch EDGE® PT-E500 is the result.

It has the powerful features they want to handle bigger, more

complex projects. It can even connect to a PC and download

and store data for use at the job site. But it’s also remarkably

easy to use by practically anyone, by design.

Clearly and accurately marking your work is the sign of a professional.

In today’s increasingly complex data centers it’s also a necessity.

Specs on many projects now require extended ANSI/EIA/TIA 606x

identifiers. As such, there’s a lot more detailed information to

manage, and a lot more to accommodate on each label.

The PT-E500 produces durable, laminated labels up to 24mm wide.

It combines powerful technology with advanced features and intuitive

operation that help make the labeling job faster, simpler and more

efficient for your entire crew – without the need to read a manual.

Smart label application keys offer preformatted templates for the

types of labels electrical and datacom contractors, and A/V and

security system installers, use frequently.

These can help almost anyone make the right label every time,

quickly and easily.

The PT-E500 uses interchangeable, drop-in HGe and TZe tape

cassettes that already contain all the materials required to produce

durable laminated labels in the color, size or adhesive type you want.

Changing label colors, sizes or adhesive types takes seconds. Just

pop in the cassette you need and you’re good to go.

When you make a label with the PT-E500, your text, symbols and

barcodes are printed on the underside of a clear protective laminate

and then bonded to the adhesive and other substrates as the label is

printed. So the label that emerges is already laminated, includes an

easy-peel backer, and is ready to cut, peel and apply.

The laminated labels you can produce with the PT-E500 have

been engineered to stand up to harsh environments, indoors and

outdoors. They can withstand temperatures from -30 degrees (C) to

100 degrees (C), moisture, harsh UV, abrasion, grease and industrial

solvents like acetone, and remain affixed and clearly readable for

years.

The PT-E500 raises the bar for jobsite accuracy and efficiency

with its smart technology, PC connectivity and high performance

features that minimize keystrokes and dramatically increase labeling

speed and productivity in the field.

With the PT-E500 practically anyone can create and print the

labels they need in seconds, simply by using its clearly marked

buttons, built-in preformatted templates, and by following its on-

screen prompts. They can populate those labels with data from

downloaded databases to minimize keystrokes, or enter the data

manually using the comfortable QWERTY keyboard.

So even generating serialized labels that address ANSI/EIA/TIA-

606x standards can become easier. Producing properly spaced

auto-incremented patch panel labels in a single strip can go faster.

So can marking wires with heat-shrink tube. Or printing cable wrap

labels with rotated text. Even making barcode labels is simple with

the PT-E500.

Practically every routine labeling task your crews now face – and

the more challenging ones emerging – can be handled faster and

more efficiently with the PT-E500.

helps save time and helps

reduce human input error.

• Large backlit LCD display provides at-a-glance

view of label design settings, including application

icons and allows you to preview and edit label

markings prior to printing.

• Automatic smart font-sizing technology enables

printing of clearly formed, readable characters on

durable laminated labels up to 24mm wide – perfect

for conforming to the short and long ANSI/EIA/TIA

606x identifier format.

• Built-in automatic cutter can be set to cut labels

to specified lengths, whether they are for labeling

faceplates, patch panels, punch blocks or general

cable runs.

• PC connectivity and built-in software allow you to

download and store data from common databases,

as well as custom or pre-formatted label templates,

which can be saved and downloaded in the office to

generate labels with text, symbols and barcodes in

the field. This can save time on the job and help to

minimize human error.

• Faster label printing speeds, coupled with

automated label cutting, speeds up onsite workflow

and increases installation efficiency and productivity.

• Durable laminated labels encapsulate the print

between two protective layers to ensure long-term

integrity and readability. P-touch EDGE industrial

thermal printers use UL-recognized labels, and the

PT-E500 is compatible with HGe and TZe tapes that

offer adhesive and color choices for virtually any

labeling application.

• Heat Shrink Tube (HSe) in convenient drop in

cartridges designed for the PT-E500 make switching

between laminated labels and heat shrink tube easier

than ever. Just swap the cartridge! Perfect when

you need a smooth, lasting heat shrink identifier for

narrow gage or bundled wire and cable.

• Advanced Alpha and Numeric Serializing allows

installers to quickly pre-print labels for a project by

automatically incrementing a number and/or letter

individually or simultaneously.

Specifications

The PT-E500 was clearly designed to help make projects go

faster and more efficiently – from start to finish. Drop in an HGe

or TZe tape cassette for the tape color, size and adhesive type

you need. Choose the application you want. Enter the text into

a preformatted template or one you’ve created and stored on the

PT-E500 already. Add industrial symbols from the hundreds built-

in, and create and add industry-standard barcodes using the 9

built-in symbologies.

Then print and cut your label. Peel and apply.

That’s how it’s done.

All HGe and TZe laminated tapes are 8m (26.2ft) in length, except Black on Fl. Orange 5m (16.4ft), and are heat resistant,

cold resistant, UV resistant, abrasive resistant, chemical resistant and water resistant.

HGe and TZe tape cassettes are available in a wide range of colors,

sizes and adhesive types to match your labeling application .

Flexible ID Tape:

For wrapping and flagging wires and cables.

Extra-Strength Adhesive Tape:

For rough, textured and powder-coated surfaces.

Standard Adhesive Tape:

For flat, smooth surfaces.

And now, for the PT-E500, there’s Heat Shrink Tube.

All of these tapes are available on easy-swap, drop-in cassettes.

So it only takes seconds to go from using Flexible ID Tape to wrap

and flag cables and wires, to Extra-Strength Adhesive Tape to mark

load centers and electrical panels, to Standard Adhesive Tape to

mark outlet covers and faceplates.

Tapes for practically every application

HGe tape is a new tape designed for commercial and industrial labeling applications, specifically for the models

PT-E100, PT-E300 and PT-E500 to print laminated labels up to 2x faster than any current P-touch® TZ tape model.

TZe tapes feature the same laminated structure and durability of HGe tapes, but without the faster print speeds

offered by HGe tapes. TZe tapes are compatible with the PT-E100, PT-E300, PT-E500, PT-7500, PT-7600,

PT-18RKT, PT-9700PC and PT-9800PCN, as well as all other P-touch® and P-touch EDGE® TZe compatible

labelers.
