^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 that 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 the following 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.
To be compatible with existing Zebra printers, this command must come before the
first ^FS 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.
