aaaa = Horizontal Print Offset (-0832 to +0832)
bbbb = Vertical Print Offset (see Note 7 for allowable range)
Example: <ESC>A3H100V0050
Placement: Preceding all images that are based on the new base
reference point

configuration
Command Function To establish a new base reference point for the current label. The
base reference point is the top left corner or “origin” from where all
print position commands are based.
This command may be very helpful when using labels less than four
inches wide to place images on the printable label surface. It may also
be used to move images past preprinted fields on a label.
