4.5 Sample Header
This is the header for the format used to generate the printed sample in Figure 4-2 followed
by a summary of the header values.
5, 1280, 900,19 ,38 ,7 ,0 ,1 ,385, 0, 0 <CR>
5 = 5 format fields are following the header.
1280 = LSX (total print head dots) is 1280 dots.
900 = LSY (label height) measures 3” or 900 dots.
19 = WEB measures 0.0625” or 19 dots.
38 = GAP measures 0.125” or 38 dots.
7 = Print speed (DPS) of 7 = 4.5 inches per second.
0 = LCB of 0 for die-cut labels.
1 = AGD of 1 step.
385 = SPG of 385 for proper placement of the next label.
0 = No X offset.
0 = No Y offset.
<CR> = A carriage return must follow the header.
4.6 Label Format Fields
The Label Format Fields are used to define the characteristics, placement and
representation of the corresponding text data of the individual fields. A format field is
broken down into many different parameters. It is not necessary to enter values for all of the
parameters (default value will be used if a parameter is left blank) but each parameter must
be separated with the comma delimiter (“,”). A carriage return must follow each format field
for proper operation to occur. The values entered must be positive integers for all of the
parameters of the format field.
This is a list of the first label format field element mnemonics for the sample label in Figure
4-2:
