CHARACIER FONT ORIENTATION
The
LaserJet
family printers
can
print characters in either
of
two
orientations:
portrait
(text printed
from
left-to-right across
the
width
of
the
page)
or
landscape (text printed
from
left-to-right
across
the
length
of
the
page).
The
escape sequence
Ec&100
selects
the
portrait
mode
(default)
and
Ec&110
selects
the
landscape mode. Once
the
orientation
is
selected, only those
fonts
that
are
available in
that
orientation are printable.
The
following
illustration shows
the
difference
between
portrait
orientation
and
landscape orientation.

& Landscape Orientation
This escape sequence also causes
the
top
margin, text length,
left
and
right margins, horizontal motion index (HMI),
and
vertical
motion
index (VMI)
to
be defaulted. Therefore, unless you wish
to
switch orientations,
you
should
not
send this escape sequence.
See
the
"Portrait & Landscape Orientation" discussion later in this
chapter
(under "MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES")
for
more
information
on
this sequence.
