Begin 90° ° or 270° ° rotated font
[ESC] P <n>
1BH 50H nH
<27><80><n>
&%RI {n=2},&%RF{n=1},&%RN{n=0}
This command sets the print font to a rotated 90° or 270° font.
n = 0 Normal
n = 1 Rotate 90°
n = 2 Rotate 270°
n = 5 Rotate 90°
n = 6 Rotate 270°
The rotated print font is a 1 pass 7 x 9 or 5 x 7 font. Enhanced, emphasized,
subscript, superscript, and underline character attributes are not available in
this mode. Double-wide and double-high fonts are available. However, because
the font is rotated, double-wide font will make the characters taller and double-
high font will make the characters wider.
The current pitch sets the spacing between lines. If 8 cpi is set, the printer will
produce the equivalent of 8 lines per inch rotated print. Print pitches greater
than 15 cpi are very small and difficult to read.
This mode prints faster than the formatted, rotated print mode. However, no
formatting is available in this mode.
End 90° ° rotated font
[ESC] P <0>
1BH 50H 0H
<27><80><0>
&%RN
This command returns the print font to normal nonrotated mode.
NOTE: This command leaves the printer in utility print mode.
