[Caution] • This command is valid for all characters (alphanumeric, kana, and kanji) 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.
• Setting memory SW 3-7 to ON allows the horizontal and vertical relations to be
interchanged when 90°-right-turnning of character is 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.
• If characters of different vertical magnification are contained in a line, the baseline of
each character is lined up.
• Horizontal and vertical magnification can also be specified/canceled by ESC ! but the
setting of command last processed is valid.
