Command 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 pre-printed
fields on a label.
