Narrative:

Received closeout for tow of 141246 which was legal for runway 16R-flaps 08-31 degrees. Made normal takeoff but at 200 ft AGL ACARS printer started to run. After clean up first officer said we have a new closeout. Revised tow was 141881. This appears to be 181 pounds over maximum tow at 30 degrees-flaps 08- runway 16R. Timely information would have prevented this overweight takeoff.
