1.7 The Print Area

The maximum print area for the various RISC printers are listed in the table on the next pages. Most of your label applications will not require tags/labels that fill the entire print area, therefore it is important to under- stand 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 above illustrates the maximum print area and a sample 50mm wide by 75mm 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 base reference point is located at the H1, V1 position of the print area in the normal print orientation (no rota- tion)
