11-14 Checking Length
In other cases, the printer displays your label at the length you set it or
as set by the template you used to create the label, but when you choose
Print, displays a message and does NOT print the label until you correct
the length condition.
For example, if you open a file with a label with a set length, the label is
displayed with the correct length on the screen. If the label is too long to
print on the current supply, you’ll see a message telling you so, and
you’ll be returned to the Editor window. You won’t see the label length
truncated on the screen, as shown in Sample of label too long for
installed ribbon. on page 11-14. You then have the option to:
Install a longer panel ribbon
Install a continuous color ribbon
Shorten the label length
In this case, you must make one of these changes, or you will not be able
to print this label.
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:
