Intermec EasyCoder C4 – Programmer's Guide Ed. 3
The printable area of the label forms a grid, where the X-axis runs
across the label and the Y-axis runs along the label web. Dots are
used as the unit for establishing position of the upper left corner of
each fi eld in relation to a specifi ed reference point, in this example
the top left corner of the form.
For example, as the printhead density is eight dots per millimeter
(203 dots per inch), a fi eld that starts 5 mm (0.197 in.) inside of the
left margin and 3 mm (0.118 in.) down should be expressed as 40
dots on the X axis and 24 dots on the Y axis.
Text and bar code fi elds can be rotated around their insertion points,
whereas lines, boxes and graphics cannot be rotated. However, the
entire print image can be rotated 180°. The illustration below shows
coordinates for the default print direction (ZT).
