412 Operators Manual

4.4.1 A SAMPLE SESSION (HEADER)

This is the label header from the sample label in section 4.3.

5,812,1218,,20,35



5 -

5 fields following the header

812 -

Label width (LSX) of 812 (812/203 = 4 inches).

1218 -

Label length (LSY) of 1218 (1218/203 = 6 inches).

The WEB parameter can be defaulted.

20 -

A GAP between labels of 20 (20/203 = 0.10 inch).

35 -

Label print speed (DPS) of 35 = 2 inches per second
(from Table 3)

No entry for the LCB parameter means default value of
0, normal stock on backing paper.

The AGD could be defaulted. This value was confirmed
using the auto-size command.

SPG could be defaulted. This value was confirmed using
the auto-size function.



A carriage return must follow the label header. There were
some parameters left that were not entered into the header -
OFX and OFY. Because they were not entered, the printer
assumes the default values, 0 in their cases. Likewise, since
the AGD and SPG were defaulted, the carriage return could
have followed the DPS.

Note: Defaulted fields must be separated by commas and ending commas may
be omitted.
