A–5Bar Codes
• P8 sets the orientation for the bar codes. Bar codes can be rotated to four
different positions, though any characters beneath them are printed only
in portrait or landscape orientations. The default is P8 = 0.

NOTE: When printing the human–readable line for any rotations other than
zero degrees (horizontal portrait mode), the special bar code font is
used regardless of how the P9 parameter is set (2, 3, or 4). OCR–A
and OCR–B are available only in portrait orientation.
This does not apply to the Postnet bar code.
If an illegal parameter sequence is requested, the sequence is ignored and the
last bar code parameter remains unchanged.
