Vertical Offset is the distance down from the leading edge (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.
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 right-hand printer). 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. Since the printer moves the label in discrete steps
equal to the size of the print dot, the units of measure for Vertical and Horizontal Offset
distance is dots. The maximum values that can be set for each is +/-800.

set manually using the LCD Display or via the <ESC>WT Calendar Set command. The last
