Printronix T3308 Printer User Manual


 
C–2
Setting the Page Length
Table C–1 shows the maximum label lengths for the T3306 and T3308 printers,
given different memory configurations. Note that these are worst-case
measurements.
Depending upon the complexity of the label, you may be able to get longer label
lengths than those listed in the table. In addition, the table figures assume you
are using full width pages. If the actual pages printed are narrower than the
maximum width (and you have adjusted the page width accordingly in the
secondary control panel), then longer labels may be printed.
The table also indicates the maximum label length for running at full and half
speed, assuming that the label is not too complex to run at full speed, because of
controller/processing limitations.
The table values presume that only memory limitations are keeping the printer
from running at full speed. In addition, the table includes sections for the default
and minimum font cache sizes. Adjusting the cache size will affect the memory
available for labels and also affect the speed at which the printer can generate
labels.
