Label size
{% if options.is_fixed %}
Labels are {{ label_width_mm|int }}mm wide and lie across the tape, so each one only uses its height in tape length.
Two part types in one drawer become a single 40 × 20mm label. Matched on the drawer / location field.

Tape & layout

{% for preset, text in [(1.0, 'Normal'), (1.5, 'Large'), (2.0, 'Huge'), (3.0, 'Max')] %} {% endfor %}
The part name is sized first and the image gives way to it, so turning this up shrinks the picture rather than clipping the text. The whole name always prints - it wraps and settles at the largest size that fits, so a long name stops growing before a short one does. Untick Part image for the biggest type of all.
{% if not options.is_fixed %}
{% endif %}
{% if not options.is_fixed %}
If your print comes out sideways, untick this. To make the change permanent, set it in Settings.
{% else %} {# Fixed sizes always lie across the tape, so there is nothing to choose - carry the value through so the form round-trips. #} {% endif %}

Jobs are sent one at a time: LIM waits for the printer to finish each label before sending the next, because the VC-500W answers "busy" to anything that arrives mid-print. So a big run takes a while - leave the page alone until it comes back rather than refreshing, or you'll print twice.
{% else %}

No tape printer address set yet. Put the VC-500W's IP address into Label Settings and it can be printed to directly over the network.

Tape too narrow A {{ label_width_mm|int }}mm label needs 50mm tape. {{ tape.name }} is {{ tape.printable_mm }}mm printable, so labels will be scaled down. Load 50mm tape, or pick a different size.

Tick labels, then:
For customs and MOC drawers, where the parts have no drawer in common. A combined label grows 5mm for each part past the second, and hand-made groups are kept whatever the size setting says.
