Designing Labels Using LDS Chapter 4
4-10 324M/424M Operator’s Manual - 880026-0144
SPG = (284 + 203 - 203) mod (203 + 25)
SPG = 284 mod 228
SPG = 56
D2G (468) = The Dot to Gap distance for a 203 DPI 424M printer (Table 4-3).
LSY (203) = The height of the printable area; 1" x 203 DPI = 203 dots.
SBL (25) = The Space Between Labels, or die-cut GAP in this case;
.125" x 203 DPI = 25 dots.
DRM (203) = The Distance to Registration Mark is from the leading edge of
the printable area to the next registration mark;
1" x 203 DPI = 203 dots.
The SPG can be fine adjusted by temporarily adding a line at dot row #1 using Line Draw
and adjusting the SPG number up and down to get desirable registration.
4.4.10 OFX (Offset X Direction)
HFM, LSX, LSY, WEB, GAP, DPS, LCB, AGD, SPG, OFX, OFY
This parameter is used to move or offset all format fields in the X direction without altering
the format fields coordinates themselves.
4.4.11 OFY (Offset Y Direction)
HFM, LSX, LSY, WEB, GAP, DPS, LCB, AGD, SPG, OFX, OFY
This parameter is used to move or offset all format fields in the Y direction without altering
the format fields coordinates themselves.
4.5 Sample Header
This is the header for the format used to generate the printed sample in Error! Reference
source not found. followed by a summary of the header values.
5,1280, 900, 19, 38, 7, 1, 405, 0, 0 <CR>
5 = 5 format fields are following the header.
1280 = LSX (total print head dots) is 1280 dots.
900 = LSY (label height) measures 3” or 900 dots.
19 = WEB measures 0.0625” or 19 dots.
38 = GAP measures 0.123” or 38 dots.
7 = Print speed (DPS) of 7 = 4.5 inches per second.
0 = LCB of 0 for die-cut labels.
1 = AGD of 1 step.
405 = SPG of 405 for proper placement of the next label.
0 = No X offset.
0 = No Y offset.
