Text Box Overrun Mode

How Loftware Enterprise SP should respond if the amount of data received for a Text Box field is more than can fit.

Tip: If the Text Box Overrun Mode is specified in the job data, that overrides any mode specified in Label Specific Options in Label Design Label Design, device options in Devices Devices, or system preferences in System System Management. Otherwise, if specified in Label Specific Options, that overrides device options and system preferences, and if specified in device options, that overrides system preferences.

Allow Overrun: The text continues beyond the bottom of the envelope for the field. For a printed label, as much of the text as can fit on the label is printed.

Truncate Data: Text that does not fit is not printed or displayed. The preceding text is printed or displayed.

Truncate Data at Paragraph Break: A paragraph that does not fit is not printed or displayed. The preceding paragraph is printed or displayed.

Fail Print Job on Overrun: Any print job that includes a Text Box field in which the data received does not fit is failed and is not printed or displayed.

Use Global Setting: The value for Text Box Overrun Mode that is set in System System Management is used. (Default)
