11-12 Checking Length
If the label is a saved label you have opened to print, the system
displays a message prompting you to change the tape supply.
When the label size is smaller than the printable area of the tape,
the system proceeds to print your label without displaying messages,
but how it prints varies according to how many labels the job contains
and the system settings:
If the job has just a single label, the system prints the label as is.
If the job contains multiple labels, the system checks the Supply
saver system setting.
With Supply saver ON, the system saves tape and ribbon by
arranging labels of the same size together in the print queue. With
the Monocolor system and the Multicolor system, the printer adds
dashed lines to show you where to cut the labels apart. On the
Color& Cut system, the printer cuts the labels apart for you.
With Supply saver OFF, the system prints the labels in the normal
way: one per panel, one at a time.
See Supply saver option on page 11-22 for information and examples.
Checking Length
The system uses the ribbon supply installed in your printer to
determine the maximum printable length for a label. When you start a
print job, the system checks the length of your label page and compares
it against the information it records from your ribbon’s memory cell flag.
Important! The view of your label on the display screen is usually a
reliable representation of how it will print. You should
correct any size discrepancies before printing to avoid
wasting supplies.
