Creating Fixed-Length Labels

Normally, the length of the label is automatically
determined by the length of the text. However, you can
choose to set the length of the label for a specific
application.
When you choose a fixed label length, the size of the label
text is automatically adjusted to fit the label. If the text
cannot be adjusted to fit within the fixed label length, a
message is displayed and you are prompted to print a
variable length label. You can choose a fixed length label
between 1.5" and 15" long.
