PRINTER SETUP

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.

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 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

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).

Example

! 0 0 0 0

VARIABLE POSITION -10

VARIABLE WRITE
