Label-Formatting Commands

R

Set Row Offset Amount

This command allows vertical adjustment of the point where printing begins. The printer is instructed to print label formats nnnn units above the position that the format specifies. This feature is useful when a single format is to be printed on labels containing preprinted information.

Note: If using preprinted labels where the placement of the preprint data varies from label to label, the printed information may overlap the preprinted data.

Syntax:

Rnnnn

Where:

nnnn - Is a four-digit number (0000-9999) for the row offset, in

 

inches/100 or millimeters/10. The printer default is 0.

Sample:

<STX>L

 

R0037<CR>

 

141100001000100SAMPLE LABEL<CR>

 

E

The sample prints a label with a row offset amount of .37 of an inch, unless in metric mode.

r

Syntax:rnn…n

Where:

nn…n - Is the label name, up to 16 characters in length.

The samples below explain different ways to recall and print a label format. (To view a memory module’s directory of label formats use the <STX>W command.)
