AGC Position

AGC (Automatic Gap Control) is an integral part of the paper handling
capabilities of the printer. It is an automatic adjustment function which
ensures usage of various paper thicknesses at always optimal print quality.

The reference point for the measurement of the paper thickness is the AGC
Position of the first print line. Default for the horizontal AGC Position is 24,
any position from 4 up to 82 (for printer PP 803) or 4 to 131 (for the printers
PP 806 and PP 809) in steps of 10 cpi can be selected.
An adjustment of the AGC Position is only necessary if a measurement at
the default position does not reflect the paper thickness of the area to be
printed on or if there is a paper edge (e.g. of a label) in that position (the
measuring process requires a plain paper-surface).
In addition to the automatic AGC function, measurements of the paper
thickness at various positions can be executed by the AGC command, or a
specific platen gap can be set using the PCC command. This is to meet the
requirements of forms with complex properties. For details see Appendix D
and E Quick Reference.
