Summary of Rotated Printing
The table shows the combinations of Set/Cancel Upside-Down Print, Set/Cancel Rotated
Print (clockwise), and Rotated Print (counterclockwise). Rotated CCW is mutually
exclusive with the other two commands. Unintended consequences may result when
rotated CCW is mixed with other commands.
The samples of the print show only the normal size characters. Double-wide and double-
high characters are printed in the same orientation. They may also be mixed on the same
line.
