^LS
Label Shift
Description The ^LS command allows for compatibility with Z-130 printer formats that are
set for less than full label width. It is used to shift all field positions to the left so the same
commands used on a Z-130 or Z-220 Printer can be used on other Zebra printers.
To determine the value for the
^LS command, use this formula:
Z-130 and Z-220 values for ^LHx + ^FOx
(distance from edge of label) = printer value for
^LSa
If the print position is less than 0, set ^LS to 0.
Format ^LSa
This table identifies the parameters for this format:
Comments When entering positive values, it is not necessary to use the + sign. The value is
assumed to be positive unless preceded by a negative sign (-).
To be compatible with existing Zebra printers, this command must come before the first
^FS
(Field Separator) command. Once you have issued an
^LS command, the setting is retained
until you turn off the printer or send a new
^LS command to the printer.
Important • The ability to save the ^LS command depends on the version of firmware.
