Term
aaaa(D): X-coordinate of the print origin for drawing graphic data
Fixed at 4 digits (in 0.1 mm units)
* If “D” is attached after a 4-digit value, the coordinate is specified in units of
dots.
0000D or greater
bbbb(D): Y-coordinate of the print origin for drawing graphic data
4 or 5 digits (in 0.1 mm units)
* If “D” is attached after a 4- or 5-digit value, the coordinate is specified in
dots.
0000D or greater
cccc:
