How do I print wire labels on a Rhino printer?
Note: This post was written specifically for the Rhino 6000 or 6500 printer which allow you to import a data file to the printer via a USB cable. These instructions can me modified for any label printer that can accept a data file.

Below is an example of the imported data. You can then transfer the wire data to your Rhino printer:
