is 0, unidirectional print mode is turned off.
• When the LSB of

[Notes]
■ This mode can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode.
• When this command is used in standard mode, the printer sets the mode for standard mode.
• When this command is used in page mode, the printer sets the mode for page mode.
■ When unidirectional print mode is turned off, bidirectional print mode is automatically turned on.
■ When page mode is selected, the printer performs unidirectional printing for all data that is to be
collectively printed using FF or ESC FF.
■ Unidirectional print mode can be turned on when printing double-height characters or graphics or bit
image or two dimension code to ensure that the top and bottom of the printing patterns are aligned.
■ The settings of this command are effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is
turned off.
