to take your projects to the job site
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
