4, 5 STL Autoheader Mode:
STL Autoheader (^D147) may be configured to execute using three different
methods or modes.
00 Standard Autoheader mode
10 Autoheader Table mode
11 Autoheader User mode
Standard Autoheader Mode
This is the default mode used to automatically detect the proper values for a
format header. The printer uses the reflective sensor to determine stock sizes
within the Ticketing Industry.
Autoheader Table Mode
The table mode takes the calculated blsy value that the standard autosize
measures and replaces it with the Norm value based on a 203 dpi table or the
300 dpi table.
If the measured value is >= the 1
forced to the middle normalized value.
If the measured blsy value falls outside of the table, the value is not changed.
Example – Stock is autosized and found to be 1362 dots long (203 dpi). This
value will then be changed to 1320. It is this changed value that will be
reported (^D148) and used as blsy.
The tables are based on ticketing industry stock sizes off:
