X- and Y-axes, relative to the label width set by a previous q
command.

Parameters p

Horizontal (left) margin measured in dots (default 000).
p

Vertical (top) margin measured in dots (default 000).
Remarks e relative reference point command is used to establish the top
and left margins relative to the label width.
For narrow labels, the r command can be used after a q com-
mand, which has the benefit of making better use of a limited
image buffer. e values for the latest r command (or R, which-
ever was last executed) are printed on the test label.
e print direction commands ZB and ZT affect the location of
the relative reference point, as illustrated below:
Example r50,100↵ :Creates a 50 dot left margin and a 100
dot top margin from label edge set by q command.
