printing wraparound labels with a pt7600

A bit like https://wibblement.blogspot.com/2025/03/printing-cable-labels-with-pt7600.html , but printing just one wraparound label per id.

Using the labeller's cutter, you would have to engage in the whole printing process, and cut when it says.  Doing it this way, you can quickly cut with scissors, either as a batch, or as you need them.

 * prepare labeller: insert 9mm black on white tape, power on, ensure barcode PROTOCOL is set to CODE128

 * press Code then Z to enter settings, and select CUT 2 using up and down, and hit return

 * clear text with code, backspace, enter

 * press "Bar Code" (confirm again it says CODE128)

 * enter first id in sequence (you are managing ranges / sequences of ids elsewhere), for example "wibble1234", press return

 * press Code -> Label Type

 * it says Copies 1.  Press 2

 * press right arrow and it goes to NUMBER OFF

 * press down for 99, or enter however many you want (we don't expect it to complete, as it will use up the whole cartridge)

 * press return

 * it asks START? and highlights the barcode symbol; press return

 * it says CONFIRM; press return

 * while it's printing, it says COPIES n/m, where m is the total number of barcodes to be printed, not the number of copies entered earlier.  For example, if we entered Copies 2 and Number 99, then the m shown here is 198.

 * supervise it. When the cartridge runs out, power it off

 * cut and dispose up to final quad printed (assuming cartridge ran out)

 * record final id
