• The graphics from GS ( L of <Function 112>.
• Raster bit image from GS v 0.

■The upside-down print mode has no effect in page mode. If this command is processed in page mode, an
internal flag is activated, and this flag is enabled when the printer returns to standard mode.

turned off.
■When upside-down print mode is turned on, the printer prints 180°-rotated characters from right to left.
The line printing order is not reversed; therefore, be careful of the order of the data transmitted.
