Unidirectional Mode | ESC U n |
Selects unidirectional mode for n=1, or bidirectional mode for n =0. Printing is normally bidirectional. Unidirectional printing provides more accurate positioning, but causes lower throughput.
Example: The following escape sequence will force unidirectional printing.
