Vertical location values:

0.00 0.00 00 7.99 203.1 1535
The maximum horizontal and vertical values you can use depend
on the supply size you’re using.
For each field you want to print, specify the beginning horizontal
and vertical location. You can enter whole units and a decimal
unit, or a decimal unit only. Do not enter a decimal point.
Enter the location in English units, Metric units, or dot units. Use
hundredths of an inch for English decimal units. The printer must
be set up for the type of units you want to use. See Chapter 5,
"Setting Printer Options," for more information.
If the horizontal or vertical values are not within the printable
boundaries of the supply, you’ll see an error message. You must
change the location or other options which affect printing.
If you choose to print the extended characters of a bar code
(number system digit and check digit), do not locate the bar code
within 0.15 inch of another field or the edge of the tag. Without
extended characters, this restriction is 0.10 inch. Do not use a
vertical location of less than 0.06" (1.5 mm) for serial bar codes.
A vertical location less than 0.06 could result in an invalid bar
code.
