Command Structure

Command Function
The <ESC>R command rotates the printing of all subsequent
images in a print job by 90° counter-clockwise each time it is
used. It also moves the base reference point to a different
corner of the print area.
The <ESC>N command returns to the original base refe-
rence point and returns printing to the normal orientation.
