VARIABLE WIDTH

VARIABLE WIDTH n
V WIDTH n
Parameters
n
Print width, in hundredths of an inch.
? returns the current setting.
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.

Example
