Comments

Use this command with VARIABLE WRITE in a non-
printing label format. Do not use this command in

stored label formats.

This command is functionally identical to the
WIDTH

command, except that it can set the new

print width in nonvolatile RAM. Used with
VARIABLE WRITE

, VARIABLE WIDTH can eliminate

the need to include WIDTH commands in label
formats designed for narrow printers. It is still good

programming practice, though, to include a WIDTH
command in every new label format. This helps

assure compatibility with other printers that may

not support VARIABLE WIDTH.
