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

zInstall 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.
