Calculate the distance (in dots) that corresponds to the amount you wish to shift
the label print area. If you wanted to move the print area over to the left (as
viewed from the front or label exit end of the printer) 3.0 inches:
Shift Distance = 3.0" x 25.4 mm/in x 8 dpmm = 610 dots
New Base Reference Point = 610 dots
Issue the Base Reference Point command after the Start command in your data
stream.
<ESC>A3H0610V0001
This resets the reference point for all the following data.
Note: After the reference point is moved, you can no longer print on the 610 dot
“margin” unless the reference point is reset.
3. Adjust the <ESC>H Horizontal Position. Use the normal base reference
point from the print area and use the horizontal position for each field to properly
locate it on the label.
Calculate the distance (in dots) from the normal base reference point to the
closest edge of the label.
Shift Distance = 3.0" x 25.4 mm/in x 8 dpmm = 610 dots
Each <ESC>H command would have the value “610” added to it to correctly
position each field.
