The
/*O
command is used to rotate the print in relation to the label and must be followed
by a single parameter which defines the orientation (values: from 0 to 3).
Orientation of 0 maintains compatibility with the ST230, (default value).
The label is printed in reverse if 2 is selected whereas 1 and 3 will rotate the printing by
90° in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction respectively.
