Print Width Specify the width of the labels being used. The default value is the maximum width for the
printer, based on the printhead’s DPI value.
Note • Setting the width too narrow can result in portions of a label format not being
printed on the media. Setting the width too wide wastes formatting memory and can
cause the printer to print off of the label and onto the platen roller. This setting can
affect the horizontal position of the label format if the image was inverted using the
^POI ZPL II command.
