Chapter 6—Setting Up the Printer

The length setup creates an emergency stop, which works when the printer is set up for “Label (w gaps)”, “Ticket (w mark)”, or “Ticket (w gaps).” If the label stop sensor (LSS) has not detected a gap or mark within 150% of the set length, the media feed is automatically stopped to avoid feeding out a whole roll of media, because of an LSS malfunction.

By setting up the X-start, the Width, and the Length, you will create a print window inside which the printing can be performed. Any object or field extending outside the print window in any direction will either be clipped or cause an error condition (Error 1003 “Field out of label”), see Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx, Programmer’s Reference Manual.
