Refer to Figure 6 for a visual representation of most header parameters.

The following is a description of each header element:

HFM NUMBER OF FIELDS IN LAYOUT

This parameter is used to specify the number of fields in the layout. If more fields are defined than what is specified for HFM, the extras will be ignored. To prevent software confusion, do not set the HFM parameter to a number higher than the number of fields defined.

LSX LABEL SIZE X DIRECTION

Specifies the width of the label in dots. For example: A 3" wide label would have an LSX of 3 x 154 = 462 dots. (154 dots = 1 inch)

LSY LABEL SIZE Y DIRECTION

Specifies the height of the label in dots.

WEB WEB SIZE

The width, measured in dots, of the webbing that is found on the left side of the label.

GAP GAP SIZE

The height, measured in dots, of the gap between labels. Auto-sizing (See section 5.3.3) will define this value.

DPS PRINT SPEED

The speed the printer actually prints a label. The printer will slow down in a dense area of the label, if needed, to prevent the label from being garbled. If the printer must slow down in an area, reducing the print speed will produce a better quality label.

The labels per minute a particular format will print can be calculated by the equation below:

IPS x 60 seconds

Labels per Minute = ----------------

Label Height+Gap

The printer's default print speed is 2.1 inches per second (DSP value =34). To speed it up or slow it down, the following DPS parameters can be inserted into the label header. Please note that certain conditions such as large supply rolls, narrow label stock and tag/peel mode may require slower print speeds (about 2"/sec.) in order to acheive reliable label feed.
