Plain English

Sets a base offset that shifts everything on the label. All subsequent ESC+H and ESC+V positions are relative to this reference point. It's like setting page margins — instead of adjusting every position, you offset the entire design.

When to use

When you need to shift the entire label layout, for example to account for pre-printed label stock or to reposition a design without changing every coordinate.
