Supported Printers and Drivers
When driving printers with PCL5, note that there is typically a ¼” margin on all sides of the page that is
not printable. Additionally, along the top of the page, the unprintable margin area can have label
elements (text, lines) positioned within it, creating a clipping effect. For this reason, it may be best to
define the label or page layout size in Loftware to be ½”(2 x ¼”) less than the physical paper size. For
example, a label designed for a Letter sized page would be 8” x 10½”.
The optimal settings and dimensions for different PCL5 printer models may vary.

support this feature.
