Before you lay out your format, answer these questions. How large is your
supply, which fonts do you want to use, do you want to include a bar code,
and do you want to include graphics?

The print area varies depending on the size of your supply. Below are the
maximum and minimum print areas. Notice that the top edge (leading edge)
of the supply exits the printer first. There is a non-print zone (0.055 inches)
on either edge of the supply.

The length you can print is dependent on the amount of memory you
allocate for the image buffer. See “Defining the Memory Configuration
Packet” in Chapter 2.
Note:
For exact print area measurements of your supply, see the supply
layout grids in Appendix D, "Format Design Tools."
Use the following formulas to convert inches to dots and metric:
Dots = inches x 203
Metric (1/10mm) = inches x 254
English (1/100 inch) = 100 x (dots/203)
Dots = Metric (1/10 mm) x .797
