Logical page orientation

Esc&l l #O
# = 0, 1, 2 or 3
• This command sets the orientation of the logical page relative to the physical page.
• Values of # produce orientations as follows: 0 = portrait, 1 = landscape, 2=reverse portrait and 3 = reverse
landscape.
• Sending this command to the printer causes the page length, text length, top, left and right margins to be set to
their user default values. Any previously transmitted data is printed out and the cursor is positioned at the top
left hand corner of the text area on the next page.
• Portrait or landscape orientation can also be selected from the printer's control panel.
• The factory default orientation is portrait.
