OUTPUT

NOTES A reverse image area is affected by the rotate commands. Therefore, always assume
the printer is in the normal print orientation when designing and sending the Reverse
Image command.
If using reverse images with the form overlay, place this command before the Form
Overlay command in the data stream.
If the height and width to be reversed contains anything other than alphanumeric
data, the area is not printed.
If the values specified exceed the maximum ranges, the reverse image is not created.
