The present invention is directed toward a terminal marker used to identify a terminal block. The terminal marker includes a front having a print surface, a back, sides, and flexible legs. The flexible legs can be positioned in a natural state for installation in the terminal block or a compressed state for obtaining a marking from a printer. In the natural state, the flexible legs extend at an angle with respect to the print surface of the terminal marker. In the compressed state, the flexible legs extend outward beyond of the sides of the terminal marker.

1. A terminal marker for identifying a terminal block, the terminal marker comprising: a front having a print surface, a back, sides, and flexible legs;wherein the flexible legs are disposed in a natural state extending from the back perpendicular to the print surface of the terminal marker for installation in the terminal block; andwherein the flexible legs are disposed in a compressed state folded into the back and parallel to the print surface for obtaining a marking from a printer. 2. The terminal marker of claim 1, wherein the flexible legs having a front and a back, the front of each leg being rotated with respect to the back of the leg. 3. The terminal marker of claim 2, wherein the front of the flexible legs is angled upward. 4. The terminal marker of claim 1, wherein the flexible legs are attached to the sides by a living hinge. 5. The terminal marker of claim 1, wherein the flexible legs bend to a compressed state to accommodate printing, and thereafter return to a natural state with the flexible legs extending perpendicular at the angle with respect to the print surface. 6. The terminal marker of claim 1, wherein the terminal marker is formed in a continuous strip of a plurality of terminal markers, the terminal markers being separated by perforations. 7. The terminal marker of claim 1, wherein the flexible legs extend outward beyond the sides of the terminal marker in the compressed state. 8. The terminal marker of claim 1, wherein the sides have openings for receiving the flexible legs in the compressed state.
