11-14 Checking Length
When the printer truncates labels
Figure 11-9 is an example of a label with an object placed beyond the label length
acceptable to the installed ribbon, where the printer will truncate the label when
you print it:
Figure 11-9. Sample of label too long for installed ribbon.
For the label shown in Figure 11-9, the installed ribbon is a continuous color
monochrome ribbon, and the circles shown are to be printed in various colors, as
labeled. This combination carries a maximum supported length restriction of 38”.
The label shown on the screen is over 38” long. Note that the display indicates the
cutoff point at 38”.
If you attempt to print this label as it is, the printer truncates the job at the
maximum length of 38”, without displaying a warning message. The part of the
circle that extends beyond 38” does not print, just as shown on the display screen.
Non-truncating conditions
You see the actual set label length on your display screen, and the system will not
automatically truncate a label that exceeds the maximum length allowed for the
supplies installed, under these conditions:
z When you create a label with continuous color ribbon installed, with single
color objects, unless the objects you added to the label extend beyond the 100”
maximum length for this type print job.
z When the length is set for the label, either by you when you create the label, or
by the template you used to create the label.
