[Details]
This command is all characters (alphanumeric and Kanji) effective except for
HRI characters.
If n is outside of the defined range, this command is ignored.
In standard mode, the vertical direction is the paper feed direction, and the
horizontal direction is perpendicular to the paper feed direction. However,
when character orientation changes in 90
clockwise-rotation mode, the
relationship between vertical and horizontal directions is reversed.
