Since the printer moves the label in discrete steps equal to the size of the print dot, the
units of measure for Vertical and Horizontal Offset distance is dots.
Vertical Offset is the distance down from the leading edge in dots (the edge of the
label that comes out of the printer first) to the first vertical print position. A positive
setting moves the first print position down the length of the label while making it
negative moves it up the length of the label. The maximum value that can be set is 823
dots.
Horizontal Offset is the distance that the label image is shifted either to the right or
left on the label. For a positive setting the image is shifted to the left (towards the inside
edge of the label). For a negative setting the image the image is shifted to the right
(towards the outside edge of the label). This setting changes the base reference point for
all subsequent label jobs. The effect is identical to the <ESC>A3 Base Reference point
command. The maximum value that can be set is 1424 dots.

The Calendar is an optional feature in CL408e/CL412e printers allowing the date and time
to be set manually using the LCD Display or via the <ESC>WT Calendar Set command.
The last setting, set either manually via software command, received by the printer will be
the value used. The format of the display is YY/MM/DD hh:mm (Year/Month/Day/
hours:minutes). The date format is fixed and cannot be changed.
