VARIABLE POSITION

Function

Moves the first printed dot row on the label up or down

with respect to its last position.

Explicit Form

Implicit Form

VARIABLE POSITION distance

V POSITION distance

Parameters

distance

Distance between the original starting

location and the new location, in
thousandths of an inch. Positive numbers

move the first dot row down; negative

numbers move the first dot row up.
A ? returns the current setting status.

NOTE: The first dot row must always be at least 3/16" from
the top edge of the label when using black bar indexing.
Trying to print too near to the top edge by using the
VARIABLE POSITION command causes label skipping.

Comments

When using this command, send it to the printer with
VARIABLE WRITE

in a non-printing label format. After

sending the file to the printer, press the FEED button
once to set the new index position.

Do not use this command in stored label formats.

The position set with this command only applies to the

current indexing method (black bar or gap).

This command has the same effect as the VARIABLE

TOF command.
