Description
: This order sets the value of the current character precision attribute. Parameter P1 specifies
the type of precision. Precision 2 (character precision) is the only valid type of precision for this printer. P1
must equal 01 or 02. P1 set to X'00' is the current default.
Set Character Direction
3A P1
Description:
This order sets the value of the character direction attribute. Subsequent strings that print
using the Character String order will print in the direction specified relative to the character baseline angle.
See “Set Character Angle”. The character direction for non-graphics (text) does not change with this order.
This order does not change any other graphic drawing attributes.
Parameter P1 specifies the direction, as shown:
Hex Line Type
00 Current Default
01 Left to Right
02 Top to Bottom
03 Right to Left
04 Bottom to Top
Set Marker Precision
3B P1
Description:
This order sets the value of the current marker precision attribute. Parameter P1 specifies
the type of precision. Precision 2 (character precision) is the only valid type of precision for this printer. P1
must equal 01 or 02.
Set Marker Set
3C P1
Description:
This order sets the value of the current marker symbol set attribute. Parameter P1 specifies
the local character set identifier. This printer only uses the default marker set. Thus, P1 must equal 00.

on in the Begin Segment Introducer (BSI). When the BSI prologue flag bit is on, only the following orders
are valid before the End Prologue order:
● Comment
● No Operation
● Segment Characteristics
● All Set Attribute type orders.
