<OFFSET>

For AFP printers, the <OFFSET> tag informs Enrichment of the offset values set in the copy group for the input. Enrichment uses the <OFFSET> tag to calculate placement of added objects.

The <OFFSET> tag is necessary only when:

The control file contains the Add tag group
You are using a COPYGROUP within a FORMDEF that contains an offset value that is not 0, 0.

Note: <OFFSET> is only valid for AFPDS, AFP mixed, and AFP line data print streams.

Parameter	Description	Default
`offsetX`	The distance from the origin point to the x offset. The origin depends upon whether the FORMDEF is set for portrait or landscape presentation. In the figure below, the origin point is represented by the circle from which the offsetX (x) and offsetY (y) values are measured. The `offsetX` setting can be from 0 to 24000 pels or equivalent.	0
`offsetY`	The distance from the origin point to the y offset. The `offsetY` setting can be from 0 to 24000 pels or equivalent.	0
[units]	The type of units in which you specified `offsetX` and `offsetY`.	INCHES
