Field Positioning - Intermec EasyCoder PC4 Programmer's Reference Manual

Field Positioning

Y-axis
ESim for the PC4 and PF8 Printer Programmer's Reference Manual
The printable area of the label forms a grid. The X-axis runs
across the media and the Y-axis runs along the media path. Dots
are the unit of measure for establishing position of the upper left
corner of each field relative to a specified reference point. Text
and bar code fields can be rotated around their insertion points.
Lines, boxes, and graphics cannot be rotated. The entire print
image can be rotated 180º. The illustration below shows
coordinates for the default print direction (ZT).
