Microcom 485 User Manual page 14

It is generally recommended that Autosize is enabled. If enabled, the printer will automatically
calculate the Tag DRM value which overrides the value shown in the controls. However, in
some printers like RFID printers, it may be necessary to disable Autosize. Once disabled, all the
previously grayed out controls are enabled to adjust the size of the media accordingly.
There is also an inches to dots and vice versa converter. Typically, measurements are set and
stored in dots but that requires more advanced calculations. To make tag length configurations
easier, the user can choose to input the length in inches. Once you press Submit, the length in
inches will be converted to dots and the Tag DRM will also be calculated automatically. This
method is best used with standard FGL media. Otherwise, if the media is not standard, it is
recommended the user checks the "Input Length in Dots" box in order to manually input the
values for length in dots and Tag DRM for the best accuracy. Pressing Submit will convert the
length in dots to inches.
Note: the conversion and calculation will not occur until Submit is pressed. Whichever value is
displayed in the application when Save to Printer is pressed will be the value sent to the
printer.
