Figures 2-11 and 2-12 show how the command works on short- edge feed paper, in landscape and portrait orientations. Compare the origins and the x- and y-axis of each page orientation.

More As shown in figures 2-11 and 2-12, Text Placement Absolute places portrait fonts differently than landscape fonts. When you are placing text with portrait fonts, the command defines the starting point for the baseline of the first character. When you are placing text with landscape fonts, the command defines the top left corner of the character cell of the first character.
