Field Description
The most important item to understand when doing a field description is the point of
reference on the tag for placing a field and the point of reference on a field for doing a
rotation of the field.
All field positions are referenced from the corner of the tag that is formed at the point
where the trailing edge of the tag and the edge of the tag that is closest to the machine
as the stock travels through the machine meet. The corner of the tag that is formed by
these two sides is referred to as the top left hand corner of the tag.

The point of reference to a field is also the top left hand corner. When a field of text is
in a normal reading position so that the text can be read from left to right, the top left
hand corner is the corner formed by the left edge of the first letter and the top edge of
the letters. This is the point of a field that is used to position a field on a tag and also is
the pivot point for a field when it is rotated.
