VARIABLE TOF
Function
Moves the first printed dot row to the absolute offset
specified with respect to the index position. This
value replaces any previous TOF setting value for
the current indexing mode.
Explicit Form
Implicit Form
VARIABLE TOF offset
V TOF offset
Parameters
offset
Distance from the index position to the
TOF position, in thousandths of an
inch.
? returns the current setting.
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 using
the VARIABLE TOF command will cause label
skipping.
Comments
Use this command 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
indexed 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 , gap, or
notch).
