Re: ibm4400-004 Thermal printer?

Hi,

You didn't mention the label width that you had loaded into the printer. If
by some chance the printer believes that some of the data you are trying to
print on the label is too wide for the label, it has the option to wrap the
data to a following line which could cause the page length difficulty that
you have described in your posting. If the data were spaces, you might not
immediately notice the wrap that was occurring.

HTH

Best Regards,
