[Function]
Specifying the counter-clockwise rotation of font and barcode.

• Parameter
a [Rotative direction]
0: Parallel 1 (0 degree)
1: Serial 1 (90-degree)
2: Parallel 2 (180-degree)
3: Serial 2 (270-degree)
[Coding Example]
Font rotation: Parallel 2 (180-degree), Barcode rotation: Serial 1 (90-degree)

[Supplementary Explanation]
• Position specification of Vertical Print Position <V> and Horizontal Print Position <H> are the
absolute value from its base reference point.
• When the value of parameter "a" is between 4 and 9, it will be processed as a command error
and ignored. When the value other than numeric is specified, this will be ignored and printing
will be performed at 0 degree.
• Print of barcode using Serial 1 or Serial 2 may cause blur. Drop the print speed for rotation print
of Serial 1 and Serial 2 for better performance.
