This parameter is the height, measured in dots, of the registration mark used to identify the
beginning of a label. The label sample (Error! Reference source not found.) GAP
measures 0.123” or 38 dots.
4.4.6 DPS (Print Speed)

The DPS parameter is used to set the printing speed for the printer. Refer to Table 4-2 for
the list of print speeds, DPS values, and corresponding inches per second values. To print
at greater speeds, change the DPS value to a lower setting as shown on Table 4-2.
Generally, better print quality is achieved by printing at lower speeds, however this is also
dependent on the media and contrast settings as well.
Labels per minute can be calculated by the equation below:
