Positioning Fields

Using the IPL command language to position fields is the trickiest part of
designing labels. Since you cannot tell exactly how the field looks until it
prints, you may need to make several test prints before you get the field
positioned correctly.
For all types of fields, you determine the print position by defining the
coordinates of the upper left corner of the unrotated field.
The field origin is the upper left corner of an unrotated field. To define the
coordinates of the field origin, you use the origin command (oX,Y) where o is
the command that specifies origin, X is the distance from the left side of the
label, and Y is the distance from the top of the label.
The X and Y coordinates of the field origin are measured in dots. There are
300 dots per inch, or 12 dots per millimeter.
To position a field to print approximately 0.5 inch (13 mm) from the left side
and 1 inch (25 mm) from the top of your label, the origin command is o150,300.
