ROTATED FIELDS
ROTATED FIELDSROTATED FIELDS
ROTATED FIELDS
The printers can rotate each print field in 90° increments using the Rotate
command. There are two variations of this command.
•<ESC>% - The field rotates, but the base reference point for the field
remains the same.
•<ESC>R - The field and the base reference point rotate.
The following data stream will rotate the print field but will not change the
base reference point of the field:
<ESC>A<ESC>%1<ESC>V800<ESC>H200<ESC>L0202<ESC>WB1E
<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z<P255>
The following data stream will rotate both the field and the base reference
point for that field:
<ESC>A<D><ESC>R<D><ESC>V0200<ESC>H0100<ESC>L0202<E
SC>P02<ESC>WB1E<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z<P255>

There are some types of commands that must have a value specified before
a label can be printed. If the data stream does not contain these commands,
a “default” value is assumed. The commands and the corresponding default
values are:
