against the inside left edge of the printer as viewed from the front of the printer. The normal reference point is located at the H1, V1 position of the print area in the normal print orientation (no rotation).

1.Send the Base Reference Point command as part of your data to the printer to set a new base reference point for your label.

Calculate the distance (in dots) from the normal base reference point to the closest edge of the label. For a 12 dpmm printer (a CL412 or CL612), this would be:

Label Width = 2" x 25.4 mm/in x 12 dpmm = 610 dots
