^FW
Field Orientation
Description The ^FW command sets the default orientation for all command fields that have
an orientation (rotation) parameter. Fields can be rotated 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees clockwise
by using this command.
The
^FW command affects only fields that follow it. Once you have issued a ^FW command,
the setting is retained until you turn off the printer or send a new
^FW command to the printer.
Format ^FWr
This table identifies the parameters for this format:
Comments
^FW affects only the orientation in commands where the rotation parameter has
not been specifically set. If a command has a specific rotation parameter, that value is used.
Parameters Details
r = rotate field Accepted Values:
N = normal
R = rotated 90 degrees
I = inverted 180 degrees
B = bottom-up 270 degrees, read from bottom up
Initial Value at Power-up: N
Example • This example shows how ^FW rotation works in conjunction with ^FO. In this
example note that:
• the fields using A0N print the field in normal rotation
• the fields with no rotation indicated (A0) follow the rotation used in the ^FW command
(^FWR).
