Non-Printing Zone; Preventing Jams - Paxar 610 User Manual

Non-Printing Zone

A non-print zone is required for text (light copy) and bar codes (heavy copy). Thin lines
and most fonts require a 0.25-inch non-print zone at the leading edge of the label. Bar
codes, bold fonts, and Care symbol fonts require a 0.375-inch non-print zone at the
leading edge of the label. Without these non-print zones, the ribbon sticks to the supply
and can cause jams.
PCMate Software has a built-in non-print zone; however, some third party software
packages may not. You should verify the non-print zone or check defaults.
create/design formats, do not place logos or bar codes too

each shift, and at the end of each day.
