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
preprinted fields on a label.
