[ESC] P Begin rotated font/Right to left entry
ASCII [ESC] P <n>
Hexadecimal 1BH 50H <n>
Decimal <27> <80> <n>
IPCL &%RI {n=2}
&%RF {n=1}
&%RN {n=0}
EPOS [ESC] V <n>
Description The [ESC] P <n> command sets the print font to a rotated 90 or 270
font.
Where n n = 0 Normal
n = 1 Rotate 90 (Single pass, 12 x 12 draft)
n = 2 Rotate 270 (Single pass, 12 x 12 draft)
n = 5 Rotate 90 (Two pass, 12 x 12 draft or 12 x 14 large draft)
n = 6 Rotate 270 (Two pass, 12 x 12 draft or 12 x 14 large draft)
n = 8 Enter Text right to left
n = 9 Enter Text right to left and Rotate 90 (Single pass, 12 x 12 draft)
n = 10 Enter Text right to left and Rotate 270 (Single pass, 12 x 12 draft)
n = 11 Enter Text right to left and Rotate 90 (Two pass, 12 x 12 draft or
12 x 14 large draft)
n = 12 Enter Text right to left and Rotate 270 (Two pass, 12 x 12 draft or
12 x 14 large draft)
In Modes 1 and 2, 12 x 12 draft font is rotated 90 or 270 and printed in a
single pass. Double wide and double high fonts are available. However,
because the font is rotated, double wide makes the characters taller and
double high makes the characters wider. Modes 1 and 2 distort the font,
but they produce the fastest rotated print.
Modes 5 and 6 rotate the 12 x 12 draft or 12 x 14 large draft and maintain
the aspect ratio of the fonts. Modes 5 and 6 require two passes by the
print cartridge, which slows the print time considerably. The font that is
rotated by Mode 5 or 6 is selected by the [ESC] I <n> command. <n>
may be zero or one.
NLQ fonts cannot be rotated 90 or 270. The current pitch sets the
spacing between lines. If eight characters per inch (cpi) is set, the printer
produces the equivalent of eight lines per inch (lpi) rotated print.
Modes 8-12 allow right to left text entry. (Note: right to left text entry is
not supported in formatted rotated print mode (See the [ESC]r command
for formatted rotated print.)
