      If the Printronix Auto ID Label Maker indicates that the bar code quiet zone is too small, it is likely due to an incorrect form or host application design. You should fix the application. Alternatively, you can disable the ODV-2D feature by navigating to Control and then Quiet Zone in the menu.
