print engines
NOTE: Setting the width too narrow can result in portions of the label not
being printed on the media. Setting the width too wide wastes formatting
memory and can cause printing off the label and on the platen roller. This
setting can affect the horizontal position of the label format if the image
was inverted using the
^POI
ZPL II command.
Setting Maximum Label Length
The maximum label length is used during the calibration process.
Interlabel gap is considered part of the label length.
Always set a value that is at least 1 in. (25.4 mm) longer than the length of
the label you are using. For example, if the label length is 5 in. (126 mm)
including the interlabel gap, set the parameter for 6.0 in. (152 mm). If the
value is set to a smaller value than the label length, the print engine
assumes that continuous media is loaded, and the print engine cannot
calibrate.
• To increase the value, press the right oval.
• To decrease the value, press the left oval.
Default: 39.0 in. (988 mm).
Range: Values are adjustable in 1 in. (25.4 mm) increments.
