PRINTER SETUP

VARIABLE WIDTH

Function Sets the default print width.

Explicit Form

Implicit Form

VARIABLE WIDTH n

V WIDTH n

Parameters

Print width, in hundredths of an inch.

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.
