^TO – Transfer Object
What ^TO does
^TO is part of the Graphics, Formats, and Memory reference. Use it when working with transfer object on compatible Zebra printers. This independent reference focuses on the command shape, configuration inputs, defaults, and the surrounding commands that are commonly used with it.

Implementation guidance
- Confirm that the printer model and firmware support the command before deployment.
- Test the smallest valid command first, then add optional parameters one at a time.
- Keep units in printer dots unless the command explicitly defines another unit.
- Verify the result on the target media, because resolution, orientation, and stored settings can change the output.
Troubleshooting
If the printer ignores the instruction, check the command prefix, delimiter characters, firmware support, and whether the command belongs inside a ^XA and ^XZ format. For output commands, also confirm that the field is closed with ^FS where required.
