Chapter 3 MEDIA CONTROL
Example 4: Blank Label Case
Problem: A file exists with two horizontally adjacent 4” labels. The user now
wants to use this file with a printer that has a 4” physical width. The user
decides to set the
Num Labels
to 3 and the
Label Width
to 4” despite the fact
that these values are not optimum.
Printer Operation: The maximum
Num Auto Labels = (20”/4”) = 5
. The
selected value of 3 is legal. After the file is sent, the printer will begin by
printing the first 4” width label. Once that label is complete, it will print the
second 4” width label. Finally, once both of those labels have been printed,
the printer will print a blank 4” label.
Auto Label Width
The width of a single label to be printed or the maximum width of the media
that will be used for the print file. The value is selectable from 00.1 inch
through the maximum print width of the printer.
NOTE: The maximum Auto Label Width value will be limited to the current
MEDIA CONTROL/Label Width value selected in the configuration
menu.
The default value depends on model width and size of DRAM installed.
Num Auto Labels
The desired number of labels to be printed vertically adjacent on the form.
The value is selectable with a range of 1 through 40 (5504-R40), 1 through 21
(5504-R60) and 1 through 17 (5504-R80).
The factory default is 2.
