Notes:
1. The LPD command accepts logical page values from X
'0001' to X'7FFF'.
However, attempts to print outside the intersection of the physical medium
(as defined by the Set Media Size command) and the logical page result in
an error.
2. If the Ordered Data Flag is on, this indicates to the printer that subsequent
data is in order and can print as it is received. If page data is unordered,
printing is deferred (buffered), because the printer must place the received
data in the proper sequence.
3. The high-order 9 bits of the two byte fields 24-25 and 26-27 are interpreted as
a 9-bit binary value that describes the orientation of the X and Y axes.
4. If bytes 28-29 and bytes 32-33 are all 0, each line begins at the leftmost print
position for 0, 90 orientation and rightmost print position for 180, 90
orientation.
5. The IBM 64XX Line Matrix Printers can print right-to-left by selecting a 180,
90 degree orientation within the Logical Page Descriptor command or within
the Set Text Orientation control sequence. The IBM 64XX Line Matrix
Printers force an inline sequence of 180 degrees for the default font to
maintain upright printing when right-to-left printing is selected.
Figure 9 on page 41 shows how the Logical Page Descriptor command defines
the logical page.
