4.5 The Print Area
The maximum print area for the M-5900RV is listed in Table 4.1 on Page 4-6.
Most of your label applications will not require labels that fill the entire print
area, therefore it is important to understand how to work with labels that do
not use the entire print area. The goal is to help you avoid printing where no
label exists, which may lead to print head damage, not to mention frustration
when you cannot see the printed output.
The diagram below illustrates the maximum print area with a sample 2 inch
wide by 3 inch long label placed within this area. As can be seen, your label
will be oriented against the inside left edge of the printer as viewed from the
front of the printer. The normal reference point is located at the H1, V1
position of the print area in the normal print orientation (no rotation).
