In peel mode, the minimum label length is 0.75 inches
(19 mm). For 300 dpi, the maximum label length is 9.0
inches (229 mm).
Make sure your format length matches the actual label size
exactly for correct printer performance. This is especially true
for shorter feed length supply and formats. If an error occurs,
recalibrate the supplies in the printer. See your Quick
Reference for more information.
