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.
