Chapter 3-Label Design Enabling/Disabling Partial Fields Normally, any field that extends outside the print window, as specified by the printer's setup in regard of media size (X-start, width, and length), will cause Error 1003 "Field out of label." This can easily happen while you design your label layout, for example when changing the font, font size, direction, alignment, etc. Even "invisible" parts of a field, for example "transparent" parts of an image may cause such errors. If your label layout contains many fields, it may be difficult to grasp all implications of a change. However, it is possible to enable so called "partial fields." CLIP ON/CLIP OFF is sufficient for partial text, image, line, and box fields. Partial bar code fields may require a more complex syntax. When partial fields are enabled, a field that extends outside the print window will not cause Error 1003, but will be clipped at the edge of the window and not included in the printout. Thus, you can print a sample and more easily determine what is wrong.

Enabling/Disabling Partial Fields
Normally, any field that extends outside the print window, as specified
by the printer’s setup in regard of media size (X-start, width, and length),
will cause Error 1003 “Field out of label.” °is can easily happen while
you design your label layout, for example when changing the font,
font size, direction, alignment, etc. Even “invisible” parts of a field, for
example “transparent” parts of an image may cause such errors.
If your label layout contains many fields, it may be difficult to grasp
all implications of a change. However, it is possible to enable so called
“partial fields.”
CLIP ON/CLIP OFF
is sufficient for partial text, image,
line, and box fields. Partial bar code fields may require a more complex
syntax.
When partial fields are enabled, a field that extends outside the print
window will not cause Error 1003, but will be clipped at the edge of the
window and not included in the printout. °us, you can print a sample
and more easily determine what is wrong.
CLIP [BARCODE [HEIGHT|INFORMATION|X|Y]] [ON|OFF]
BARCODE
Toggles between partial bar code enable/disable.
HEIGHT
clips the height of the bars.
INFORMATION
clips the bar code lengthwise.
X
clips the part of the bar code that comes outside the print window in the
X-dimension.
Y
clips the part of the bar code that comes outside the print window in the
Y-dimension.
Default: CLIP OFF
Example:
Only the last part of the text field will be printed, since the field is right-
aligned and the insertion point is close to the left-hand edge of the print
window.
