Rotated printing commands
Three commands control the rotation of printing. The table shows the combinations of set/cancel
upside down print, set/cancel rotated print (clockwise), and rotated print (counterclockwise).
Rotated clockwise and rotated counterclockwise print commands are mutually exclusive: the
setting of the last received command is effective. Unintended consequences may result when
rotated clockwise is mixed with other commands.
The samples of the print show only the normal size characters. Double-wide and double-high
characters are printed in the same orientation. They may also be mixed on the same line.
