[Caution] | • This command works for all ANK characters except for HRI |
| characters. |
| • This command is ignored if either the vertical magnification |
| or horizontal magnification is out of the defined range. |
| • In STANDARD MODE, the vertical direction is defined as the |
| paper feed direction, and the horizontal direction is defined as |
| the direction perpendicular to the paper feed. These definitions |
| are, therefore, interchanged when |
| are specified. |
| • In PAGE MODE, the vertical direction means the |
| direction of each character. The horizontal direction means the |
