^LT · Label Top
Vertical shift of the label.
Syntax and practical example
^LTxIn dots. Example: ^LT10
^XA
^PW600
^LL400
^LT10
^FO40,40^GB240,120,2^FS
^FO40,80^A0N,30,30^FDTOP +10^FS
^XZEducational example; not a certified label or a physical print test. Sample text and codes stay the same in every language for comparison.
Expected result with ^LT
The frame and text share ^LT10. Compare a print using ^LT0: the whole layout’s vertical adjustment should change, not the gap between frame and text. Use small steps and measure on the actual roll.
What should I check if ^LT does not give the expected result?
Do not use ^LT to compensate for irregular label skipping: check calibration and sensor first. The supported range depends on the device. To move one text field, change its ^FO instead of shifting the whole format.
Test on a real printer
The viewer helps check the layout, but does not simulate the mechanism, media or persistent printer settings. Record the original settings and restore them after testing.
