SPG = (184 + 203 - 203) mod (203 + 25)
SPG = 184 mod 228
SPG = 184
D2G (184) =
LSY (203) =
SBL (25) =
DRM (203) =
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,
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,
This parameter is used to move or offset all format fields in the Y direction without altering
the format fields coordinates themselves.

The Dot to Gap distance for a 203 DPI printer (Table 4-3).
The height of the printable area; 1" x 203 DPI = 203 dots.
The Space Between Labels, or die-cut GAP in this case;
.125" x 203 DPI = 25 dots.
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.
5 format fields are following the header.
LSX (total print head dots) is 672 dots.
LSY (label height) measures 1" or 300 dots.
WEB measures 0.0625" or 20 dots.
GAP measures 0.125" or 38 dots.
Print speed (DPS) of 4 = 6 inches per second.
LCB of 0 for die-cut labels.
AGD of 1 step.
SPG of 272 for proper placement of the next label.
No X offset.
No Y offset.
A carriage return must follow the header.
