Media

IMPORTANT
All distances under Media can be represented in inches or millimeters based on
the menu System > Control > Media Units.

Intro: Label Length

Understanding your media and application is very important when configuring the parameters in the menu
system. When setting label length, consider the following:
Label Length can be manually entered via the control panel Media > Image > Label Length menu or sent
via the host application (e.g., PGL job) using the appropriate software command. If sent via a software
command, that is referred to as a Host Form Length or Logical Label Length.
A Host Forms Length (Label Length) value sent from the host computer can override Media > Image >
Label Length value if the emulation chooses to do so. Often, the emulations will have a menu to configure
that behavior (e.g., Application > PGL Setup > Host Form Length).
Physical Label Length is the actual measurable length of the label. The following list of different media
types explains how the physical label lengths are determined:
•
Die-cut labels – measurable length of the removable label (leading edge to trailing edge). This
does not include the liner material or gap.
•
Tag Stock with notches or holes – measurable length from the trailing edge of one notch or
hole to the leading edge of the next notch or hole.
•
Tag Stock with black marks on underside – measurable length from the leading edge of one
black mark to the leading edge of the next black mark.
•
Continuous media (no label length indicators) – measurable length should be within ± 1-2%
the Label Length value entered in the Media > Image > Label Length menu or the value sent via
host software command.
Logical Label Length (or Host Forms Length) is the length that a user or programmer bases his
printable image on. In most cases this length should be slightly less than the Physical Label Length. This
