Switches from page mode to standard mode. In switching from page mode to standard mode, data buffered in page
mode are cleared, the printing area set by set print area in page mode (1B 57) is initialized and the print position is set
to the beginning of the line.
This command switches the settings for the following commands (the values for these commands can be set
independently in standard mode and page mode) to those for standard mode:
• Set right-side character spacing (1B 20)
• Select 1/6 inch line spacing (1B 32)
• Set line spacing (1B 33)
Standard mode is automatically selected when power is turned on, the printer is reset, or the initialize printer
command (1B 40) is used.
Exceptions
This command is effective only in page mode.

Value of n: Start position
0 = Upper left corner proceeding across page to the right (A)
1 = Lower left corner proceeding up the page (B)
2 = Lower right corner proceeding across page to the left (upside down) (C)
3 = Upper right corner proceeding down page (D)
Default:
0
Selects the printing direction and start position in page mode.
The command can be sent multiple times so that several different print areas, aligned in different print directions, can
be developed in the printer’s page buffer before being printed using the print page mode commands (0C or 1B 0C).
Exceptions
The command is valid only in page mode.
The command is ignored if the value of n is out of the specified range.
