Zero point top left
The unit of this property is 'Hundreds of an inch'. 1 hundredth of an inch is 25.4/100 = 0.254 mm
Determines the starting point of the label grid on the label sheet, from which all specified dimensions will be derived. The X/Y direction is always fixed, regardless of whether the label is portrait or landscape (Landscape) is printed. The zero point (X=0;Y=0) is by definition in the top left corner.
Below you can see the zero point (red dot) on a normal A4 label sheet, and the starting point (blue dot) for label grid.
Below is the zero point (red dot) on a DYMO label sheet, and the starting point (blue dot) for label grid.
The sizes given are a purely theoretical approximation of how the labels should appear on paper. The printer is ultimately responsible for properly converting the specified sizes to actual paper. It is therefore important to use a quality printer. Below is an example of how the labels actually come out on paper.
