When the printer is wall-mounted, the front of the printer points up.
Therefore, the print data appears upside down when data is printed
normally. This command allows the data to be right-side up as it comes out
of the printer.
v When upside-down printing is enabled, the last line of data must be sent
to the print first.
v This command is valid only at the beginning of a print line.
GS ! n or X'1D;21;n'
n Defines the height and width of a character. The four least
significant bits (LSBs) specify the height and the four most
significant bits (MSBs) specify the width of the character. See
Table 16.
For example, if n=X'14' the scaled character will be twice the
defined width and five times the defined height.
