Programming Codes
[ESC] r Begin rotated print
ASCII [ESC] r <n>
Hexadecimal 1BH 72H <n>
Decimal <27> <114> <n>
IPCL &%RX
EPOS [ESC] T <3>
Description The [ESC] r <n> command starts rotated print mode where n defines the
mode as follows, where n = x bits:
76543210
----xx00
----xx01
----0010
----xx11
----x1xx
When n = 1 or 9, the print mode is rotated 90 . Print data is entered
normally 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.
When n = 5 or 13, the print mode is rotated by 90 with formatting. The
command differs from the [ESC] r <1> command because 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 wraps
around to the next line.
When n = 3 or 11, the print mode is rotated 270 according to the
currently stored format parameters.
When n = 7 or 15, the print mode is rotated 270 according to the
currently stored format parameters. The [ESC] r <7> 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 wraps around to the following line.
When n = 2, the print mode is rotated 180 . All subsequent lines are
rotated 180 and positioned at the opposite margin. All normal fonts and
modes are available in 180 rotated mode. Format and font bits are
ignored, and the command remains in effect until rotation is cancelled
with an end rotated print ([ESC] r <0>) or a station select command.
Note 1: The last line of print must end with a line terminator before the end
rotated command is issued. Any characters in the buffer that have not
printed are printed un-rotated when a line terminator is received.
Note 2: In EPOS mode, the Ithaca Printer does not fully implement page
mode. The [ESC] T <n> command functions identically to normal mode,
[ESC] r <n>, except the definition of <n> is different.
