[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 90°-right-turned characters

 

are specified.

 

• In PAGE MODE, the vertical direction means the top-bottom

 

direction of each character. The horizontal direction means the

 

side-to-side direction of each character.
