11-2 Printing Labels
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 11-11 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

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.
Single label on a page
For most print jobs, one page contains one label. A label may or may not
use up an entire page. For example, if the label you create is shorter
