^LH
Label Home
Description: The ^LH command sets the label home position.
The default home position of a label is the upper-left corner (position 0,0 along the
x-axis and y-axis). This is the axis reference point for labels. Any area below and to
the right of this point is available for printing. The ^LH command changes this
reference point. For instance, when working with preprinted labels, use this
command to move the reference point below the preprinted area.
This command will only affect fields that come after it. It is suggested that this be
one of the first commands in the label format.
Format: ^LHx,y
Parameters:
x = x-axis position (in dots)
Accepted Values: 0 to 32000
Initial Value at Power-up: 0 or last permanent saved value
y = y-axis position (in dots)
Accepted Values: 0 to 32000
Initial Value at Power-up: 0 or last permanent saved value
Depending on the printhead used in your printer, use one of the following when
figuring the values for x and y:
6dots=1mm(millimeter), 152 dots = 1 inch.
8dots=1mm(millimeter), 203 dots = 1 inch.
11.8 dots=1mm(millimeter), 300 dots = 1 inch.
12dots=1mm(millimeter), 304 dots = 1 inch.
To be compatible with existing printers, this command must come before the first
^FS (Field Separator) command. Once you have issued an ^LH command, the setting
is retained until you turn off the printer or send a new ^LH command to the printer.
