Example 3: Past Maximum File Width

Problem:

A file has been constructed with three horizontally adjacent 4”

labels. The user now desires to use this file with a printer that has a 8”
physical width. The user should have used a solution similar to one of the
solutions in the section above, but the user erroneously enters an

Auto Label

Width

of 12” and a

Num Auto Labels

of 3.

Printer Operation:

Maximum Num Auto Labels = (20”/12”) = 1.67

rounded up

to 2. The printer will automatically reduce the

Num Auto Labels

to 2.

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.
