    Easy really.! Side is when gantry is running side to side. Front is when Gantry is running away and towards you.

    If stood in front then you want the Axis which runs across the Gantry to be called (X Axis) and the Gantry moving away/towards you (Y axis) This way you retain the Cartaisian coordinate system with X0,Y0 in bottom left corner.

    There is No right or Wrong only preference. Mostly based on where you stand or view.
