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
The default value depends on model width and size of DRAM installed.
