Example:
This example shows creates a 50 dot left margin on a label,

r - Set Relative Reference Point
Purpose: Use this command to move the reference point for the x-axis
and y-axis relative to the label width set by a previous q
command.
Syntax: rp

,p

.
Remarks: The 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
command, which has the benefit of making better use of a
limited image buffer. The values for the latest r command
(or R, whichever was last executed) are printed on the test
label.
The print direction commands ZB and ZT affect the
location of the relative reference point as illustrated.
