Appendix C for range. 
FEED SPEED 
Controls the rate of label movement when the FEED Key is pressed 
and between printing areas; see Appendix C for range. 
REVERSE SPEED 
Controls the rate of label movement during backup positioning for 
start of print, cutting or present distance; see Appendix C for range.

ROW OFFSET 
00.00in (0-99.99) 
Shifts the vertical start of print position. This is the user setting for 
row adjustment. 
COLUMN OFFSET 
00.00in (0-99.99) 
Shifts the horizontal, left-justified start of print position to the right 
without
 shifting the Label Width termination point to the right. 
This is the user setting for Column Adjust. 
PRESENT DISTANCE 
0.00in (0-4.00) 
Sets the label stop position past the start of print position. When 
the next label format is received, the printer will automatically 
backfeed to the start position. If the present distance is set to zero, 
the printer will operate without reversing.
