a new value.

nn
- Is a two digit decimal number indicating the magnification
value.

Q0001
E
The sample instructs the printer to print two bar codes, each 9 dots by 3 dots.
C Set Column Offset Amount
This command allows horizontal adjustment of the point where printing begins. The printer is
instructed to print label formats
nnnn units to the right of 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:
Cnnnn
Where:
nnnn
- Is a four-digit number for the column offset, inches/100 or
mm/10. The printer default is 0 for offset.
Sample:
<STX>L
