Sensor location is important when selecting the
proper of label or tag type for printing. See the
printer user’s manual for specific information on
alignment, adjustment, and position of the
transmissive (gap) or reflective (black line) sensors.
If the label size is not set properly, the printer may
print off the edge of the label or tag and onto the
backing or platen roller. Repeated printing off the
edge of the label can cause excessive print head
wear.
Maintain a minimum margin of 0.04 inches (1 mm)
on all sides of the label.
Setting thelabelsize to large can cause the printer to
skip labels.
