Description
The [ESC] P <n> command sets the print font to a rotated 90° or 270° font.
Where n
n = 0
n = 1
n = 2
n = 5
n = 6
n = 8
n = 9
n = 10 Enter Text right to left and Rotate 270° (Single pass, 12 x 12 draft)
n = 11 Enter Text right to left and Rotate 90° (Two pass, 12 x 12 draft or 12 x 14 large draft)
n = 12 Enter Text right to left and Rotate 270° (Two pass, 12 x 12 draft or 12 x 14 large draft)
In Modes 1 and 2, 12 x 12 draft font is rotated 90 or 270° and printed in a single pass. Double-wide and double-high
fonts are available. However, because the font is rotated, double wide makes the characters taller and double high
makes the characters wider. Modes 1 and 2 distort the font, but they produce the fastest rotated print.
Modes 5 and 6 rotate the 12 x 12 draft or 12 x 14 large draft and maintain the aspect ratio of the fonts. Modes 5 and
6 require two passes by the print cartridge, which slows the print time considerably. The font that is rotated by
Mode 5 or 6 is selected by the [ESC] I <n> command. <n> may be zero or one.
NLQ fonts cannot be rotated 90° or 270°. The current pitch sets the spacing between lines. If eight characters per
inch (cpi) is set, the printer produces the equivalent of eight lines per inch (lpi) rotated print.
Modes 8-12 allow right to left text entry. (Note: right to left text entry is not supported in formatted rotated print
mode (See the [ESC]r command for formatted rotated print.)
