BASE REFERENCE POINT
FUNCTION
To establish a new base reference point for the current label. The base reference point is the
top left corner or “origin” from where all print position commands are based. This command
may be very helpful when using labels less than four inches wide to place images on the
printable label surface. It may also be used to move images past preprinted fields on a label.
FORMAT
<ESC>A3H-aaaa-Vbbbb

horizontal offset is in the negative direction. If it is left out the offset
direction is positive.
aaaa = Horizontal Print Offset (-Hmax to +Hmax)
bbbb = Vertical Print Offset (-Vmax to +Vmax)
Place preceding all images based on the new base reference point.
