Switching form orientation
As previously mentioned, there are setup commands that must
be sent before instructing the printer to start merging variable
data with a macro. If the LANDSCAPE orientation is required, the
PCL landscape orientation must be issued in addition to the
current page settings. To maintain the page settings as well as
the cursor position (x,y) after a macro has been called, a PCL
PUSH to the stack and POP from the stack must also be issued.
The following is an example of a LANDSCAPE form being called
followed by a PORTRAIT form being called which is followed by
another PORTRAIT form being called. The PCL Escape commands
that are used are explained below.
