Fine Sizing of the label page
The Callisto printer driver includes a special feature that allows fine sizing of the printed page.
This feature is called Borderless printing and is found on the Label Form tab.
If you are printing a full coverage label, you may want to slightly oversize the printed page. Do
the following to accomplish this.
- Visit the Label Form tab in the printer driver
- Check the Borderless Printing box
- Select a positive Full Bleed Overspray value.
This is the amount of label enlargement for overspray. The value is applied on all sides of the
label. A value of 0.5mm to 1mm is usually sufficient for achieving the proper amount of
overspray.
If you are printing a label and wish to shrink that page to achieve a needed gap size, you can
use this same feature to underspray the page. In some cases, system restraints prohibit printer
users from creating the needed page size. For example, systems such as SAP send standard-size
page regardless of driver settings. This feature can overcome this obstacle by shrinking the
page as much as needed to fit the printer requirements. Do the following to accomplish this.
- Visit the Label Form tab in the printer driver
- Check the Borderless Printing box
- Select a negative Full Bleed Overspray value.
Depending on the label media and the gap size within the media, you may need to select a
value of -1mm to -5mm. This is usually sufficient for achieving the proper amount of
underspray to fit the label onto the page.
Selecting Driver Parameters
Once the page sizes have been determined you can move on to other interesting printer driver
parameters.
Set the Label Form Settings Media Type and Orientation
- The media type should be set to Plain Paper or another media profile setting.
- The orientation is usually auto determined.
