Bar codes that are too long to fit within the printable area of a
label are truncated. This usually results in an unreadable bar code
being printed. To correct this condition, you must set a narrower
ratio, encode fewer digits, or use a more compact symbology.
Graphic Objects
Graphic objects are created by the landscape mode graphics
command (GS *).
Graphic objects may only be printed as part of a landscape page.
To print a graphic without entering landscape mode, you must use
EL mode graphic commands.
No landscape graphic may be wider than 256 dots, though they
may be as tall as the width of the LabelWriter’s print head. If you
need to print a graphic wider than 256 dots, you must either
subdivide it into narrower sections or print it using EL mode
graphics commands.
For more information about landscape graphic objects, see the
descriptions of the graphics commands in this manual.
Line Objects
Line objects are created using the draw line in landscape mode
command (GS l).
Line objects may only be printed as part of a landscape page. If
the length of a line object is set to exceed the printable area of a
label, the line will be truncated at the end of the printable area.
