Datamax I-4208. Printing labels, printer feedx too much or too little of label indicating that the label length is incorrect. How do I set correct label length? Do I include the gap between labels?

SOURCE: Datamax problem

You probably need to adjust the leveling cam if you have not done so already. This is the green thumbscrew near the print mechanism.

SOURCE: Datamax I 4208 prints slow when set to landscape

try using a seagull sceintific driver.
also if you are sending graphics (barcode) instead of an actual barcode decoded font, the printer will process as a graphic.
If serial, speed up to max, if parallel it should print quite fast

SOURCE: Datamax I-4208 not printing allocated amount of labels

Try printing 200 at a time, anything over that and it will cause the printer to skip numbers or overheat. 200 (with a 10 second delay) at a time may take a while longer, but it its much better to start over due to number skipping or other errors. I can account to this since we do inventories and we are asked to print 50K+ labels, and any time we want to save time by printing more only causes us more problems.

SOURCE: Datamax M-4208 label printer is not printing. It

probably a bad or very dirty sensor - use compressed air to blow out the sensors (look in the user manual to locate the sensors)
