Printing Labels
Most of the time, printing a label is a very simple process. When you finish creating
a label or have opened a saved label, with the label displayed in the Editor
window, you press the Print key or choose the Print tool (shown here at the left).
You may print a single label or multiple copies of a single label, or all labels in a
label set, including variable text labels. You can also use Advanced print features to
print partial label sets or file groups.
The processes described here assume that the supplies installed in your printer
match the label you want to print. See Checking Supplies on page 11-10 for
information about how the system prompts for supplies when it processes jobs, and
what you do to meet the requirements.
About pages
You’ll see references to pages in the print discussions that follow. It’s helpful to
understand that a page is not the same as a label, especially if you print multiple
small labels or entire file groups. Information about both those cases follow in the
sections in this chapter. (For the majority of print jobs, one page contains one
label.)
A page is the area between the leading edge of the tape (where the label starts),
and the shear cut. A page can contain one or more than one label, and the
minimum size for a page is two inches or 51 mm. See Figure 11-1 and Figure 11-2
for illustrations of pages.
Hint! The shear cut is the straight cut your system makes through the tape and
liner. This cut separates the output label from the remaining tape supply.
