AUTO-SIZING AND VALID GAP COMMANDS

The auto-size feature gives important format file values for the label header. These values are:
LSY -
GAP -
AGD -
SPG -
^D91 Value -
When auto-size is executed, a sample of approximately 10 labels will run through the
printer. The printer averages the values it receives from these labels.
To auto-size labels that use a black line instead of a gap, first execute a ^A1^D47  to
put the unit in black line mode.
To auto-size blow-hole stock, set software dip switch 4 for blow-hole stock (see section
5.3.1) and then auto-size.
There is also a power-up auto-size feature as defined in section 5.3.3, ^D24.
