Labeling Buttons on the SCP
The SCP 250 has translucent panels (“windows”) behind which
customized labels can be inserted. To remove a panel,
1
. Insert the head of a small Phillips screwdriver into the hole
in one end of the panel.
2 . Gently slide the tab on the edge of the panel out of the
recess in the SCP’s faceplate.
Premade templates and blank templates for the SCPs’ label
windows are printed in this chapter. However, you can easily
create, customize, and print labels by using the Button-Label
Generator software or any Brother P-Touch ® labeller.
Button-Label Generator software
The Extron Button-Label Generator program (Buttons.exe) is
shipped with the System 7SC, and it is also available on the
Extron Web site. This program is used to create and print labels
that can be placed in slots above/below buttons on the SCPs.
The program occupies approximately 0.5 MB of disk space. It
can be run on a diskette from a floppy drive, but it is more
convenient to load and run the program from a hard drive.
Installing the software
This program is installed at the same time and from the same
disk as the System 7SC control program. See the System 7SC
User’s Manual for details. The Button-Label Generator program
can be installed separately via the Download page of the Extron
Web site ( http://www.extron.com) . Follow the on-screen
directions if you install the program from the Web site.
By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\BUTTONS
directory, and it places an icon (Button-Label Generator) into a
group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.
Using the software to make labels
1 . To run the Button-Label Generator program, double-click
on the Button-Label Generator icon (shown at
left) in the Extron Electronics group or folder,
and click OK when prompted.
2 . Under System selection, choose the SCP 250. The button
label editing area changes to reflect the number and
arrangement of buttons on the device.
3 . Using normal Windows controls, you can create and print
labels for the front panels of the SCPs.
4 . Cut the label strips to the appropriate length, and install
them in the SCP’s windows.
