AGD NUMBER OF STEPS TO ACTIVATE GAP DETECTOR
This parameter selects the number of steps (dots) that the printer should skip before
gap sensing is activated. This value is usually defaulted. It is not defaulted when using
stock that contains pre-print or gaps that may cause the gap detector to trigger
incorrectly.
SPG NUMBER OF STEPS PAST GAP
The number of steps to advance the label after detection of a label gap. Use auto-
sizing (section 5.3.3) to quickly evaluate this parameter for small stock.
It may also be necessary to adjust this value if using material with a sense position not
located at the end of the stock.
The 412 uses the following formula to determine the SPG setting:
If label height is greater than or equal to 478 then SPG=478
If label height is less than 478, subtract (LSY+GAP) from 478 until the answer is
negative, then add (LSY+GAP) back to become positive again. Subtract the AGD value
(usually 1) and the result will be the correct SPG.
OFX X DIRECTION OFFSET
This parameter moves all the fields in the X direction without changing the fields
themselves.
OFY Y DIRECTION OFFSET
This parameter moves all the fields in the Y direction without changing the fields
themselves.
