label instead of the leading edge. If it is set to a value of
two, then the printer will not wait on the gap detector. Instead,
it
prints
all
fields
and
then
moves
the
extra
distance
as
specified in the SPG header element.
AGD NUMBER OF STEPS TO ACTIVATE GAP DETECTOR
This element determines how many slices (steps) before the gap
detector circuit is activated. This will aid in printing on
multiple labels with one label layout.
SPG NUMBER OF STEPS PAST GAP DETECTOR
This element determines how many slices (steps) to move the
label after detection of a label gap. This facilitates using
very small labels.
OFX X DIRECTION OFFSET
This element allows the user to move all the fields in the X
direction. If the printer contains a print head with a
multi-plate design, then you must be considerate of any
barcodes that might cross the gap between plates.
OFY Y DIRECTION OFFSET
This element allows the user to move all the fields in the Y
direction.
VSC VERTICAL STEP COUNT
This element allows the user to change the vertical ratio of
all the fields on the label.
PHX PRINT HEAD WIDTH
This element specifies the width of the print head in dots.
This allows the label layout to be used on all printers with
LDS software.
