x is a whole number from 0 3 to 9999 4 and expresses the horizontal offset expressed in dots 5 .
y is a whole number from 0 6 to 9999 7 and expresses the vertical offset expressed in dots.
After receiving this command (which must be sent before the first command ^FS as described on
page 13) the printer keeps these values until it is reset or until it receives another ^LH command.
The command only affects the commands that follow it, so it is normally one of the first to be sent,
in order for it to affect the entire label.
It is useful, for example, in centering text on a pre-printed label.
^LLy (Label Length)
In thermal printers the paper is positioned under the head by means of a reference (the gap between
labels, the hole, or the black tick mark on the back). If the paper does not contain any reference
marker (meaning that it is a continuous form) the printer must be informed of the operating
procedure (with the ^MN command on page 15) and length of the printing page (using the label
length command).
The command must be sent before the first ^FS command (page 13) (it does not matter whether it
comes before or after the ^MN command) and remains in effect until the machine is reset or receives
another ^LL command.
3 Default value.

Although it is possible to insert any whole number up to 9999, the limit is determined by the number of dots on the
print head (or its width for the set resolution). A greater number displaces the image outside the useful printing area.
See the printer User Manual.
5 If the printer resolution (see the User Manual) is 203 dpi, one dot corresponds to 1/8 mm, if the resolution is 300 dpi,
to 1/12 mm.
6 Default value.
7 Although it is possible to insert any whole number up to 9999, the limit is determined by the maximum printing length
(in turn limited by the available amount of RAM). A larger number displaces the image outside the useful printing area.
See the printer User Manual.
