4.6.1 TSN
The parameter determines which line of text data will be used for formatting. This allows for
more than one field to use the same text data. A TSN of "1" accesses the first line of data.
A TSN of "2" accesses the second line of data, and so forth. The text data is the text that
follows the "^D2<CR>" command in the label's layout. A graphic image field must point to a
text string that contains at least one character. The maximum value for a TSN is 65536.
4.6.2 XB
The X coordinate of the field is measured in thermal dots. The far left edge of the print
head, as viewed from the front of the printer, is X coordinate "1". There is no X coordinate
