Setting the Base Point
The base point () indicates the right edge of the output area (). (: Media feed direction, : print-head carriage movement direction) You can print without setting the base point, but setting the output area enables you to use media without being wasteful and also to print on the targeted location.
Set the base point for each individual page. When the printing of one page finishes, the base point returns to its default value.
