1. The “ESC V+[n]+[m]” command specifies the rotation angle for:
- text rotation: 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°
- image rotation: 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°
- bar code rotation: 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°
- character rotation: 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°

4. All objects can be rotated in all available directions, whereas the left upper position is defined by
the “Set position” command “ESC $+[n1]+[n2]+[m1]+[m2]”.
5. Text rotation causes the entire text to be rotated as a unit.
6. Character rotation causes only the individual characters to be rotated, not the entire text.
7. All bar code settings (height, width, magnification) are effective when printing bar codes.
