4.4.1 HFM (Number of Fields in Layout)
HFM
This parameter is used to specify the number of fields in the layout. If more format fields are
defined than specified in the HFM parameter, they will be ignored and will not print. The
HFM was set to a value of 5 in the format used to create the sample in Figure 4-2. This
means that a total of five format fields are to be generated. If the HFM were changed to 4,
only the first four format fields would be generated.
4.4.2 LSX (Print Head Size X)
HFM,
This parameter is used to specify the width of the print head using dots as the unit of
measure. The maximum width of the LSX parameter is determined by the width of the print
head. LDS has been specifically designed to accommodate a variety of print head widths.
These are the LSX values that should be used for proper print registration with various print
heads:
Print Width
2.21" (56.13 mm)
2.24" (56.91 mm)
