There are two methods available to make sure your printed output will appear correctly on your label. They are as follows:

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 an 8 dpmm printer, this would be:

Label Width = 2" x 25.4 mm/in x 8 dpmm = 406 dots

The new Base Reference Point then becomes:

New Base Reference Point = Maximum Print Width - Label Width
