LABEL HEADER

The header consist of eleven parameters. These parameters contain information about the label.
It is not necessary to enter information for all of the parameters: If a parameter is left blank, then
the default value will be used. A carriage return must follow the label header parameters.

The value of measurement for many of the header elements is the dot. There are 203 dots per
inch on a 400 print head (8 dots/mm). There is a maximum 832 dots in the X direction (width). The
Y direction (length) is virtually unlimited.

Most header parameters can be supplied using the auto-size command. (See section 5.3.3.)

Below is a list of the header element mnemonics and default values:

HFM, LSX, LSY, WEB, GAP, DPS, LCB, AGD, SPG, OFX, OFY
0, 832, 614, 13, 24, 35, 0, 1, 479, 0, 0
