Length
Specifies the length of the printable area in number of dots from
the origin along the Y-coordinate and allocates memory space for
two identical image buffers in the printer's temporary memory.
The size of each buffer can be calculated using this formula:
Buffer size (bits) = [Print length in dots] x [Printhead width in dots]
• The length setup also decides the amount of media feed when
using "fix length strip."
• The length setup creates an emergency stop, which works
when the printer is set up for "Label (w gaps)", "Ticket (w
mark)", or "Ticket (w gaps)." If the label stop sensor has not
detected a gap or mark within 150% of the set length, the
media feed is automatically stopped to avoid feeding out a
whole roll of media, due to sensor malfunction.
By setting up the X-start, the Width, and the Length, you will
create a print window inside which printing can be performed.
Any object or field extending outside the print window in any
direction will either be clipped or cause an error condition (Error
1003 "Field out of label"), see Intermec Fingerprint Programmer's
Reference Manual (P/N 937-005-xxx).
