EPSON FX SETUP
Host Form Length (PGL)
Determines how the physical label length (see Label Length under the MEDIA
CONTROL menu) is affected upon receiving an EXECUTE command.
•
Enable (factory default). The physical label length will change to match
the form length (specified in CREATE command). The physical label size
remains at the new setting until another EXECUTE command is received,
or the PRINTER CONTROL menu settings are changed.
•
Var. Length. The physical label length is the longest print element
defined in CREATE mode plus the setting of "Var Form Adjust." Works
with CREATE;NAME;0
•
Var Dynamic Len. The physical label length will change to the longest
print element defined in EXECUTE mode plus the setting of "Var Form
Adjust." Works with CREATE;NAME;0
•
Disable. Forms printed in EXECUTE mode do not change the physical
label size. Therefore, the size of the form (defined in CREATE mode)
must fit within the current label dimensions, or errors may occur.
NOTE: Changing the form length via the EXECUTE command changes the
Host Form Length (IPDS)
Enables or disables changing the form length by the host.
•
Disable (factory default). The host is unable to change the form length.
•
Enable. The host may change the form length.

LP+ Emulation logical dimensions.
The difference between Var. Length and Var Dynamic Len is as
follows:
With CREATE;NAME;0, and the following parameters,
•
10 dynamic fields defined in CREATE mode (AF0, AF1,...,AF9)
with different positions
•
three dynamic fields are used in EXECUTE mode (provided with
data)
when Var. Length is selected, the label length is based on the longest
printed element among the 10 dynamic fields defined in CREATE
mode.
When Var Dynamic Len is selected, the label length is based on the
longest printed element among the three dynamic fields defined in
EXECUTE mode.
If there is static data in the form, the static data position is taken into
consideration when determining the longest printed element.
