406 (2” X 203 = 406). There is a maximum of 575 dots in the X direction (width), while the Y
direction (height) is virtually unlimited with the standard print head. The auto-size command
(^A2^D39 <CR>) provides most of the header format information needed to define the
different properties of the media being used. This provides a good starting point in
determining the proper values.
Below is a list of the header element mnemonics and their default values:
HFM, LSX, LSY, WEB, GAP, DPS, LCB, AGD, SPG, OFX, OFY
0, 832, 614, 13, 24, 35, 0, 1, 285, 0, 0

5.4.1 HFM (Number of Fields in Layout)
This parameter is used to specify the number of fields in the layout. If more format fields are
defined than specified in the HFM parameter, they will be ignored and will not print. The
HFM was set to a value of 5 in the format used to create the sample in Figure 8. This
means that a total of five format fields are to be generated. If the HFM was changed to 4,
only the first four format fields would be generated.
