AGC (Automatic Gap Control) is an integral part of the paper handling capabilities of the printer. It is an automatic adjustment function which ensures an optimal print quality when using various paper thicknesses. The gap adjustment will automatically take place whenever paper is inserted

S after the printer has been in the STOP mode S an AGC command has been issued.
The reference point for the measurement of the paper thickness is the AGC Position of the first print line. Default for the horizontal AGC Position is 24 (= ink ribbon exchange position), any position from 4 to 131 (at 10 cpi) can be selected.
An adjustment of the AGC Position is only necessary if a measurement at the default position does not reflect the paper thickness of the area to be printed on or if there is a paper edge (e.g. of a label) in that position (the measuring process requires a plain
In addition to the automatic AGC function, random measurements of the paper thickness can be invoked by the AGC command, or a specific platen gap can be set using the PCC command. This is to meet the requirements of forms with complex properties. For details see the Programmers Manual for the printer.
