[ESC] r Begin rotated print

EPOS [ESC] T <3>
Description The [ESC] r <n> command starts rotated print mode where n defines the
mode as follows, where n = x bits:
76543210
Function
----xx00
End rotated print
----xx01
Rotate 90

----0010
Rotate 180

----xx11
Rotate 270

----x1xx
Use line formatting
When n = 1 or 9, the print mode is rotated 90

. Print data is entered
normally from left to right, top to bottom. When an end rotated print
([ESC] r <0>) command is received, the printer formats and prints the
data.
When n = 5 or 13, the print mode is rotated by 90

with formatting. The
command differs from the [ESC] r <1> command because the line length
is determined not by the longest line entered but by the line length set by
the [ESC] s command. If input extends past the end of a line, it wraps
around to the next line.
When n = 3 or 11, the print mode is rotated 270

according to the
currently stored format parameters.
When n = 7 or 15, the print mode is rotated 270

according to the
currently stored format parameters. The [ESC] r <7> command differs
from the [ESC] r <3> command by spacing out the lines to the line length
specified by the [ESC] s command. If input extends past the end of a
line, it wraps around to the following line.
When n = 2, the print mode is rotated 180

. All subsequent lines are
rotated 180

and positioned at the opposite margin. All normal fonts and
modes are available in 180

rotated mode. Format and font bits are
ignored, and the command remains in effect until rotation is cancelled
with an end rotated print ([ESC] r <0>) or a station select command.
Note 1: The last line of print must end with a line terminator before the end
rotated command is issued. Any characters in the buffer that have not
printed are printed un-rotated when a line terminator is received.
Note 2: In EPOS mode, the ITherm Printer does not fully implement page
mode. The [ESC] T <n> command functions identically to normal mode,
[ESC] r <n>, except the definition of <n> is different.
