This command switches the settings for the following commands (the values for these commands can be set independently in standard mode and page mode) to those for standard mode:
•Set
•Select 1/6 inch line spacing (1B 32)
•Set line spacing (1B 33)
Standard mode is automatically selected when power is turned on, the printer is reset, or the initialize printer command (1B 40) is used.

The command can be sent multiple times so that several different print areas, aligned in different print directions, can be developed in the printer’s page buffer before being printed using the print page mode commands (0C or 1B 0C).
Exceptions
The command is valid only in page mode.
The command is ignored if the value of n is out of the specified range.
