DC2 'Y' n
Character Rotation
Code
12H 59H n
Function Selects the direction of rotation of 1-byte and 2-byte characters.
Only two low-order bits are valid.
n = 0: Cancel character rotation.
n = 1: Rotate the character 90° clockwise.
n = 2: Rotate the character 90° counterclockwise.
n = 3: Ignore the command.
If the character is decorated, the decorated character is rotated.
Character decoration applies to a line. If the character rotation is doubled vertically, it is doubled
in the Y direction (character widths are doubled). If the width is doubled, the character is
doubled in the X direction (characters are doubled vertically).
Character rotation cannot be underlined.
The following characters can be rotated:
• Extended graphics characters
• Katakana characters
• Codepage 1252
• Downloaded character
•
Kanji
• Kanji quarter size characters
• User-defined character
Optional font cannot be rotated.
The four rightmost dots of 24
16 dots fonts of extended graphics characters and Katakana
characters are not printed.
When downloaded character are in 24-dot fonts, they are printed as 24
12 dots. Therefore, the
fonts must be 12 dots or less.
If character rotation and vertical writing are specified in Kanji mode, vertical writing is given
priority.
Default
n=0 (Cancel character rotation)
