Vertical Offset is the distance down from the leading edge in dots (the edge of the label
that comes out of the printer first) to the first vertical print position. A positive setting
moves the first print position down the length of the label while making it negative
moves it up the length of the label. The maximum value that can be set is 823 dots.
Horizontal Offset is the distance that the label image is shifted either to the right or left on
the label. For a positive setting the image is shifted to the left (towards the inside edge of
the label). For a negative setting the image the image is shifted to the right (towards the
outside edge of the label). This setting changes the base reference point for all subsequent
label jobs. The effect is identical to the <ESC>A3 Base Reference point command. The
maximum values that can be set is 1424 dots.
