R – Set Reference Point
This command is used to move the reference point for the X- and
Description
Y-axes. All horizontal and vertical measurements in other com-
mands use the setting for R as the origin for measurements.

The reference point command is used to establish top and left
Remarks
margins to prevent printing off the edge of the label. A minimum
margin of 1 mm should be used on all sides of the label.
Repeated printing outside the edge of the media can cause
excessive printhead wear.
For narrow labels, the R command could be substituted by a
q command, which has the benefit of making better use of a
limited image buffer. However, the q command cannot affect the
vertical margin. Any R command after a q command will revoke
the latter.
The print direction commands ZB and ZT affect the location of
the reference point, as illustrated below:
