Begin rotated print
[ESC] r <X>
1BH 72H 0XH
<27> <114> <X>
&%RX
[ESC] T <3>
The command starts rotated print mode where X defines the mode as follows:
Where X = n bits:
76543210
----xx00
----xx01
----0010
----xx11
----x1xx
----0xxx
----1xxx
If X = 1 or 9, rotate the print mode by 90 .
Print data is normally entered from left to right, top to bottom. When an end
rotated print ([ESC] r <0>) command is received, the printer formats and prints
the data.
If X = 5 or 13, rotate the print mode by 90 with formatting.
The command differs from the [ESC] r <1> command in that the line length is
determined not by the longest line entered, but by the line length set by the
[ESC] s command. If input extends past the end of a line, it will line wrap.
If X = 3 or 11, rotate the print mode by 270 .
The print will be rotated 270 according to the currently stored format
parameters.
If X = 5 or 13, rotate the print mode by 270 with formatting.
The print will be rotated 270 according to the currently stored format
parameters. The command differs from the [ESC] r <3> command by spacing
out the lines to the line length specified by the [ESC] s command. If input
extends past the end of a line, it will line wrap.
If X = 2, rotate the print mode by 180 .
All subsequent lines will be rotated 180 and positioned at the opposite margin.
All normal fonts and modes are available in 180 rotation mode. The format and
font bits are ignored by the command. The command will remain in effect until
rotation is canceled with an end rotated print ([ESC] r <0>) command, or a
station select command is issued.
The last line of print must be terminated with a line terminator before the end rotated
command is issued. Any characters in the print buffer that have not been printed will
not be printed. They will be printed unrotated when a line terminator is received.
The Series 90PLUS Printer does not fully implement EPOS page mode. The [ESC] T
<n> command functions identically to the normal mode [ESC] r <n> except the
definition of <n> is different.
