Minimum length
Two inches (51 mm) is the minimum supply length the system permits
for reliable delivery of a label. If your label is shorter, the system
automatically lengthens the page to meet the required minimum. The
content and size of your label on the page remains the same. You can
trim off the excess tape by hand.
Hint! If you turn the Supply Saver option on, you may be able to
print multiple copies of a short label that fill up the two inch
minimum page length. For instance, if you printed two copies of
the label shown in Figure 11-1 on page 11-3, Supply saver
would stack them vertically, using up the minimum page area.
See Supply saver option on page 11-22 for instructions.
Maximum length
The page length the system supports is determined by the installed
ribbon. The maximum supported lengths are:
z
For single-color label printing using continuous color (monochrome)
ribbons, 100 inches or 2540 mm.
z
For multi-color label printing using continuous color (monochrome)
ribbons, 38 inches or 965 mm.
z
For printing using paneled ribbons (both spot-color paneled ribbons
and CYMK paneled ribbons), the panel length. Panels are 8 inches
(203 mm) or 16 inches (406 mm).
When you create a label with the supply installed that you intend to
print with, if the label length is longer than the supported print length
of the installed ribbon, you’ll be able to see it on your display screen, as
shown in Figure 11-9.
Hint! Keep in mind that other changes besides color can affect the
length of the label. For example, changing the font size or
adding an object may increase the length of the text.
Also keep in mind that in some cases, the printer shows your label as
truncated on the screen (as in Figure 11-9) and when you choose Print,
it prints the label truncated as shown.
