LanguageAll pre-designed pipe markers have both English and Spanish legends and each pipe marker can be printed in one of three language options: English, Spanish, and Bilingual formats. Click in the Language box and click on the desired language option.

When Spanish is selected, the pipe marker will look the same as the English pipe marker except that the equivalent Spanish legend is displayed. When Bilingual is selected, both English and Spanish legends are displayed. When you make your selection, the displayed markers will change to reflect your choice.Note: Translations from English to Spanish should be reviewed for clarity and accuracy by the user. Several expressions and dialects exist and K-Sun® has presented the most popular translation to the best of our ability.

Note: If editing a bilingual pipe marker, edit both the English and Spanish legend (text). If you do not want to edit the Spanish portion, delete it before saving the marker. The Spanish portion is only displayed and printed if Bilingual or Spanish Language options are selected.

To type special Spanish characters hold down the Alt key and type the character.

To type superscripts and subscripts into a pipe marker legend:

Superscript use a carat symbol “^” preceding text character Subscript use a tilde symbol “~” preceding text character

Only the character following the symbol will be superscripted or subscripted. If more than one character needs to be superscripted or subscripted then the desired symbol must precede each character.

After selection, the displayed marker will change.

Depending on the Pipe Size and the material size to be printed on, the screen will show how many markers can be printed.

For instance: ¾- 1 ¼ pipe size

using K-Sun® PEARLabel® 360 printer with 36mm supply: 1 marker

using K-Sun® PEARLabel 400iXL printer with 4” supply: 4 markers

The ASME/AnSI and nFPA standards do not specify marker size for pipes less than 3/4” diameter and recommend using tags for pipes less than 3/4’” diameter. K-Sun® PipeMarker™ V8 includes a small marker size for use on pipes less than 3/4” where appropriate.

English Legend/Spanish LegendThe pipe marker legend identifies the pipe’s contents. K-Sun® PipeMarker™ V8 allows you to enter or add to the legend in both English and Spanish for all non-IIAR markers. Text is automatically sized as required for the pipe diameter, and set to be black or white letters, per AnSI/ASME guidelines.

All pre-designed pipe markers include Spanish Legends that are translations of the English Legend.

Note: When you edit a pipe marker, you must edit both the English and Spanish legend if you wish to have the Spanish Legend correspond to the English Legend. If you do not want to edit the Spanish portion you can delete it before saving your marker. In any case, the Spanish portion is only displayed and printed if you select Bilingual or Spanish Language options. See also special characters.

One line of Supplement information can be added in each language. This line can be used alone or in conjunction with Signal Words and Pictographs to give a specific warning about the pipe’s contents or to add any additional information that may enhance safety or facilitate identification and maintenance. The font size will automatically be set to be smaller than the Legend font size.

When adding Signal Words or additional lines of text, set PRInT PREVIEW on to review before printing. For some Pipe Size/Tape width combinations it is not possible to add Signal Words and Text. Either chose a larger width supply or do not add the Signal Words/and or text.

Printing markers created with Signal Word and/or Additional LineFor some markers/sizes adding the signal word or additional line requires choosing larger tape width (to accom-modate the extra text) or not using signal word or additional line on the marker.

If you create a marker that requires a larger tape width, an information panel appears:Adding Signal Word or Additional Text on this Marker requires Larger Tape Width.

Here is a chart to help you. for markers highlighted in Yellow that say Yes, either remove signal word and text or go to next larger width when possible.

Signal WordsPipe marker standards make no mention of the inclusion of signal words on pipe markers.Signal Words are standardized words and surrounds that are intended to capture the employee’s immediate attention. A Signal Word can be used alone or in conjunction with a Pictograph (symbol) or Supplement to give a specific warning about the pipe’s contents or to add any additional information that may enhance safety or facilitate identification and maintenance. K-Sun® PipeMarker™ V8 includes English and Spanish signal words, and one or the other, or both, will appear on marker depending on the Language option.

Choose from among the 8 Signal Words, in Spanish or English in AnSI Z535.4-2011 Style. The Signal Words are available in reverse for working with White Ribbon. The Signal Word will be displayed at the bottom left corner of the marker. In the case of vertical legend markers, the signal word will be displayed at the top left corner of the marker.

NotE: Signal Words only print out in the color of the marker/ribbon. Consider carefully before adding signal words to a marker.

Serialization-After LegendPipe marker standards make no mention of the inclusion of identification or serialization on pipe markers.

Add identification to individual pipe markers in the form of a prefix and or a number. Most commonly this is used for location identifiers or system component identifiers to assist in maintenance or trouble reporting.

The prefix can be up to 8 letters or numbers. The starting number chosen will appear on the first pipe marker and will be incremented for the number of markers printed. Specifying a starting serial number of 0 disables display of the serial number on the pipe marker. Valid values are 0 to 30000. For non-incremental numbers place the desired number in the prefix box.

Double-Click the marker. On the Edit the Pipe Marker Text Dialog box, under Serialization, check the After Legend box. Add Prefix if needed and Starting number. Click [OK].

Marker will reflect Serialization.
