DT - Define label terminator

DT [ c [, m ]] [;] c : Character

m : mode

•This command allows you to specify the character that terminates strings printed with the LB instruction.

•	The character immediately following DT is taken to be the terminator. Hence, do not put a space
	between the DT and your chosen character. If you do, space will be interpreted as the terminator in all
	subsequent LB commands.
•	m, the mode, determines whether the terminating character is printed as part of the label or not. If m = 0
	the character is printed ; if m = 1 it is not.

•If you do not specify a value for m the terminating character is not printed.

•If you leave out the character parameter the default character ETX (ASCII 3 ) is used as the terminator.

•This setting is effective until the another DT is invoked or IN or DF is performed.

LO - Label origin

LO [ p ] [;]

•This instruction allows you to position labels in different ways relative to the current pen location.

•	You can centre, left justify or right justify labels relative to the current pen location and print them on,
	above or below the current location.
•	You can combine an offset distance, equal to 25% of the current font's point size, with any of the above
	origin positions.

•p must either be in the range 1 - 9, 11 - 10 and 21. The label origin position specified by each p parameter value is shown below. 21 sets the label origin to the same one in PCL.

P=1	P=4
P=2	P=5
P=3	P=6
P=11	P=14
P=12	P=15
P=13	P=16
