Set Text Orientation (Sto); Set Variable Space Increment (Svi) - IBM 6400 Programmer's Reference Manual

Set Text Orientation (STO)

This control establishes i-direction and b-direction for the presentation text that
follows. This control can be set to print right-to-left by selecting 180, 90
(X
' 5A00 ' , X ' 2D00 ' ) degree orientation. The only valid values are 0 and 180
degrees for the inline direction and 90 degrees for the baseline direction. The
Logical Page Descriptor command also can select right-to-left printing.
X ' 5A00 ' is an orientation of 180 degrees used to print in a right-to-left direction.
X ' FFFF ' specifies to use the inline direction from the LPD command.

The permitted combinations are those where the difference between the I-axis
orientation and the B-axis orientation are 90 degrees. The 64XX can print only
from top to bottom with relation to the feed direction.

Set Variable Space Increment (SVI)

The Variable Space Increment is a two byte positive value that defines the width
of the variable space character in units. Bytes 4 and 5 are the width value. The
variable space character is X
