			Character Font
Function	Begin 90° rotated font
ASCII	[ESC] P <1>
Hexadecimal	1BH 50H 1H
Decimal	<27> <80> <1>
IPCL	&%RF{n=1}
	&%RN{n=0}
EPOS	[ESC] V <n>
Description	This command rotates the print font by 90°. The print font is a one pass, 7 x 10
	font. Enhanced, emphasized, subscript, superscript,		and underline character

attributes are not available in this mode. Double-wide and double-high print are available in 90° rotated mode. However, because the font is rotated, double- wide print will make the characters taller and double-high print will make the characters wider.

The current pitch sets the spacing between lines. If eight cpi is set, the printer will produce the equivalent of eight lines per inch rotated print.

Print pitches greater than 12 cpi are small and difficult to read. This mode prints faster than the formatted, rotated print mode. However, there is no formatting in this mode.

	Note: Line graphic characters (<176> to <223>) print unrotated.
	EPOS Note: In EPOS mode if <n> = 0, rotation is turned off. If <n> = 1, the
	pitch is set to ten cpi. If <n> = 2, the cpi is set to eight.
