3.1 HEADER DESCRIPTION
A header is broken down into thirteen different elements. These
elements contain information about the label. It is not necessary to
enter data for all of the header elements. If an element is left
blank, then a default value will be used.
The following is a list of the header element mnemonics and their
default values:
Mnemonic HFM,LSX,LSY,WEB,GAP,DPS,LCB,AGD,SPG,OFX,OFY,VSC,PHX

The header elements are:
HFM NUMBER OF FIELDS IN LAYOUT
This element is used to specify how many fields are in the
layout. The printer will then reserve RAM memory space for the
layout. If more fields than what are specifed for HFM are sent
to the printer, they will be ignored.
LSX LABEL SIZE X DIRECTION
This element specifies the width of the label.
LSY LABEL SIZE Y DIRECTION
This element specifies the height of the label.
WEB WEB SIZE X DIRECTION
This element specifies the size of the web on the edges of the
label.
GAP GAP SIZE Y DIRECTION
This element specifies the size of the gap between labels.
DPS DEFAULT PRINT SPEED
This element selects the speed of the labels through the
printer. If too fast of a speed is selected, then the fields on
the label will become garbled.
LCB LABEL CONTROL BYTE
This element has several purposes. If it is set to a value of
one, then the gap detector is sensed on the trailing edge of the
