change when the printer is made READY. If the character set is one of the
following ‘right to left’ sets, MONO CASE prints the same as DUAL CASE:
Katakana, Hebrew, Hebrew Old, and Farsi.

Undefined Character Substitution
UNDEFINED CHARACTER SUBSTITUTION specifies the replacement
character to print in place of any unprintable character that is received from
the host. The character code point can have the following value:
•
60 Hex (the default)

40 – FE Hex
Print Text Direction
PRINT TEXT DIRECTION specifies the direction in which characters are
printed on the page. This allows the printer to print languages which are
printed right to left instead of left to right.

Control By Host (the default)

Right To Left
The “CONTROL BY HOST” option allows printers configured as a 4234 to use
the “SET TEXT ORIENTATION” command from the host.
When a RIGHT TO LEFT language is selected, the host will be notified of
print direction changes when the printer is made READY.
