Rotated printing commands
Three commands control the rotation of printing. The table shows the combinations of set/cancel upside down print,
set/cancel rotated print (clockwise), and rotated print (counterclockwise).
Rotated clockwise and rotated counterclockwise print commands are mutually exclusive: the setting of the last received
command is effective. Unintended consequences may result when rotated clockwise is mixed with other commands.
The samples of the print show only the normal-size characters. Double-wide and double-high characters are printed in
the same orientation. They may also be mixed on the same line.
