Many users are puzzled by the two sections on DK-2214 labels: the printable and non-printable areas. This guide answers common questions about why only part of the label can be printed on and how to use it effectively, helping you get the most out of your DK-2214 labels.

The DK-2214 label is a 12mm wide continuous label roll, compatible with Brother label printers, making it ideal for a variety of precise labeling needs. Whether you're labeling small items in laboratories or warehouses, creating price tags for retail products, or organizing files and documents, the narrow width of the DK-2214 label allows for clear, concise labeling in tight spaces. It's also perfect for printing barcodes and labels for small-scale items, ensuring accurate and efficient identification across different applications.
The DK-2214 label design includes two parts: a printable area and a non-printable area. This design helps ensure the stability of the label during printing and meets the printer’s minimum width requirements.
- Printable Area: This area is 12mm (0.47 inches) wide, and all content will be printed within this space.
- Non-Printable Area: This area is 17mm (0.67 inches) wide, located on the other side of the label’s midline. It is designed to increase the overall width of the label to meet the printer’s minimum width requirement and to help secure the label during printing.
The non-printable area (0.67 inches wide) is designed to bring the total width of the label to meet the printer's minimum width requirement. It serves as an auxiliary area to ensure that the 12mm printable area stays in place during printing and doesn’t shift or slip.
When using DK-2214 labels, make sure that your design or editing software restricts all content to the 12mm-wide printable area. Brother’s label editing system typically adjusts the print content to fit the printable area automatically, but it’s always a good idea to double-check the width of your content during design to avoid exceeding the boundaries.
The non-printable area is a part of the label's design and cannot be removed or printed on. Attempting to remove it may cause issues with the label feeding correctly during printing or other complications. Therefore, to ensure smooth printing, it is not able to remove the non-printable area.
Although the non-printable area cannot be used for printing, it plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the label printing. If you are concerned about waste, consider choosing appropriate print content and layout design to make the most of the printable area.
The DK-2214 label's two-part design, with its printable and non-printable areas, is necessary for ensuring stable, high-quality printing. While the non-printable area may seem like a limitation, it actually helps meet printer requirements and maintain the integrity of your labels. By understanding this design, you can make the most out of your DK-2214 labels for all your labeling needs.
